Most young reptiles are relatively independent from birth, as they typically do not receive parental care. Reptile hatchlings or neonates usually emerge from their eggs ready to fend for themselves, relying on their instinctual behaviors for survival. They begin to hunt for food and evade predators almost immediately after hatching, ensuring their survival in the wild. The level of independence can vary among species, but generally, young reptiles are self-sufficient from a very early age.
