How does the queen snake changes as it grows into an adult?

What colors can water moccasins be?

The general color of a Water Moccasin (also called Copperhead and other names) is brown, gray, tan, yellowish love or black to suit it's ground cover. The dorsal banding is staggered and brighter in color, but as the snake ages the colors conform to olive brown, gray/brown or black. The belling is white/yellow/white or tan marked with dark spots. Water Moccasins are venomous, but unbelievable as it may seem they would rather give a warning of standing straight up in the water to an intruder (such as a human) rather than bite. The bite of a Water Moccasin is venomous, but if help is nearby antibiotics, etc., are given and the person will survive. Another unusual thing is a Water Moccasin can lash out and give what they call a 'dry bite' meaning they have not excreted venom into their victim.

I don't know who answered this question but whomever it was is stupid if they think that a water moccasin and a copperhead are the same thing. A water moccasin will kill you and a copperhead will only make you sick or cause a finger or toe to be amputated.

What season do cobras lay their eggs?

There are many different species of cobras, found throughout Asia and Africa, and different species have different breeding seasons. Keep in mind that most of the places where cobras live, naturally, do not have four seasons like temperate regions, but typically have just two seasons-a dry season and a rainy(monsoon) season, or experience the same type of weather and temperatures year-round. In places where there are two distinct seasons, cobras, along with many other animals, reproduce during or shortly after the rainy season, when food is more plentiful. In captivity, most species of cobras can breed and lay eggs at any time of the year, and may even breed and lay eggs more than once per year due to food and other necessary requirements always being available. Captive snakes aren't subjected to extremes of weather or starvation periods like snakes in the wild.
