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.
