Indian cobras are oviparous and lay their eggs between the months of April and July. The female snake usually lays between 10 and 30 eggs in rat holes or termite mounds and the eggs hatch 48 to 69 days later. The hatchlings measure between 20 and 30 centimetres (8 and 12 in) in length.
All 39 snake taxa [1] that are known to naturally occur in Indiana [2] [3] are tabulated below, along with their population ranges in the state, [4] [5] conservation status, [6] [7] and level of danger they pose to humans (upon biting them). [4]
The juveniles hatch in the early fall. A newborn is 8–10 in (20–26 cm) in total length. Maturity is reached around 2 years old. Eastern racers have been known to lay their eggs in communal sites, where a number of snakes, even those from other species, all lay their eggs together.
The females, which lay 8–40 eggs (average about 25) in June or early July, do not take care of the eggs or young. The eggs, which measure about 33 mm × 23 mm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 3 in × 1 in), hatch after about 60 days, from late July to September.
Like other cobra species, this snake is oviparous. [16] The mating season of this species can vary from the end of winter (September) to the beginning of summer (December). Usually, the mating season is the same whether in captivity or in the wild. Females will commonly lay 10 to 15 eggs but can lay anywhere between eight and 22 eggs at a time ...
The eastern coral snake or American cobra (Micrurus fulvius), which also does not rear upwards and produce a hood when threatened [4]: p.30 The false water cobra (Hydrodynastes gigas) is the only "cobra" species that is not a member of the Elapidae. It does not rear upwards, produces only a slight flattening of the neck when threatened, and is ...
The largest supplier of eggs in the country, Cal-Maine Foods, had to put a pause on production after chickens in a Texas plant tested positive for bird flu, the company announced Tuesday.
The monocled cobra has an O-shaped, or monocellate hood pattern, unlike that of the Indian cobra, which has the "spectacle" pattern (two circular ocelli connected by a curved line) on the rear of its hood. The elongated nuchal ribs enable a cobra to expand the anterior of the neck into a “hood”. Coloration in the young is more constant.
