What is the number of offspring a king cobra can have?
All reptiles reproduce sexually. Like most reptiles, cobras lay eggs. King Cobras are the only known species of snakes that build nests for their eggs.
The male snake begins to court the female by bumping his chin on the back of her head and crawling over her. When she is willing, she raises her tail. At that point, he wraps his tail around hers so the bottoms of their tails meet at the cloaca -- the exit point for waste and reproductive fluid. The male inserts his two sex organs, the hemipenes, which then extend and release sperm. Snake sex usually takes under an hour, but it can last as long as a whole day.
