No. Snakes do not care for their offspring.
No, rattlesnakes and rat snakes cannot interbreed.
Garter snakes give birth to live young.
All mammals and some arctic snakes
"Het" in snakes refers to a genetic trait known as heterozygous, meaning the snake carries a recessive gene for a particular trait without showing it. When breeding snakes, knowing if a snake is "het" for a specific trait is important for predicting the likelihood of offspring inheriting that trait. Breeding two "het" snakes for the same trait can result in offspring that express the trait, while breeding a "het" snake with a non-"het" snake can produce offspring that are also "het" for the trait.

Snakes have fewer eggs because they tend to invest more energy in producing larger and more developed offspring compared to frogs. This strategy increases the chances of survival for their offspring. Frogs, on the other hand, produce many eggs with less investment in each, increasing the odds of at least some surviving to adulthood.
Copperheads are ovoviviparous, which means that they give live birth (they don't lay eggs). The number of offspring that a female will produce depends heavily upon her size (larger snakes will produce more offspring). A female of the Southern subspecies (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix) typically produces 4-8 young per year if she mates. They will have bright yellow (sulfurous) tails, but otherwise look like their parents.
Put simply - they don't ! Once the young snakes hatch, they're completely independent from their 'parents' !
Depends on the species. For instance a Ball Python will normally lay a clutch of 4 to 8 eggs, but the Boa Constrictor is known to have a litter of live born offspring that is anywhere from 5 to 50+ in size.
Only if it is a species that can this ability to do so for snakes and reptiles is called parthenogenesis. Most snakes species do not have the ability to reproduce asexually, but there are a few, this form of asexual reproduction is called parthenogenesis. This is extremely rare. In parthenogenesis, the offspring are always an exact clone of the mother as the mother use her own complete DNA to create them. there have been 3 cases where one of the offspring was male, though scientist think that those cases are fakes.
Many snakes can cross breed. You would just have to see if they mate or not, I bet that there will be no problems. Just make sure that none of the offspring escape into the wild, as it could badly affect the environment.
