Most species of snakes lay eggs, most of which abandon them shortly after laying. About 70% of snake species lay eggs. A few species actually construct nests and stay in the vicinity of the eggs, sometimes coiling around the eggs to create heat to incubate them.

Some species of snakes retain the eggs until almost ready to hatch and lay them shortly before hatching begins. However, there are a few species of snakes that nourish their young with a placenta in addition to the yolk sac, with is highly unusual. Snakes of these species include rattlesnakes, copperheads, water snakes, and garter snakes.
