13 Snake Myths Debunked: Debunking Common Myths Surrounding Snakes!

Fact 1: Snakes Hatch From Eggs

The snake is a reptile that hatches from eggs. Some snake species are oviviviparous, however.

Snakes that are ovoviviparous are relatively rare. Snakes like rattlesnakes and copperheads often reproduce ovoviviparously.
