How does one distinguish the difference between juvinile yellow ratsnake and a juvinile everglades ratsnake besides the red eyes and red tongue?
Yellow rat snake: Gray eyes and skin with irregular shaped dark brown spots along the back and head. The gray skin parts are very pale, almost white.
Everglades rat snake: Gray, but with a mottled pinkish hue and much more regular shaped spotting. The spots are lighter brown with a slight dark brown outlining, and repeat horizontally in regular increments along the back. Also, the spaces between the spots are brownish hue, rather than a white-ish gray, like the yellow rat snake.

How are snakes born when snakes have no part that people have?
The mating of snakes is a tricky process. The male has two penile growths called "hemipenes" these hemipenes are the male snakes penis. If one is injured for any reason then the other is used. When snakes mate, they intertwine and line up their cloaca's (the only scale that allows access to the inside of the body), the male then inserts his hemipene and copulation comenses. Sperm and egg are essentially the same in snakes as they are in humans with the exception that one male fertilizes many different eggs in the female. Once copulation has occured and the female is pregnant (gravid) she will find a place to either lay eggs or give birth depending on the species of snake. If a female python is gravid she will seek out a large mulch patch or soft ground in which she can dig and create a den. She will then lay her eggs which exit the body through the cloaca and curl around them, shivering ocassionally to keep the eggs warm and she will also protect them at any cost. A female boa constrictor will find a secluded place several months after copulation and over the course of many hours will give birth to live young which she disperses imediately and then has no further contact with. However, a female kingsnake, cornsnake, ratsnake, or other colubrid species will find a suitable area to lay her eggs. After she has done this she will lay them and leave them with no parental supervision whatsoever. The one thing that all snakes have in common is that after they are born they are on their own. They instinctively know how to hunt and how to survive right after birth.
