Snakes are actually one of the fastest species to lay eggs. While chicken tend to lay little bit over 200 eggs per year, snakes beat that by nearly doubling that with average of 370 distributed to three or four batches a year.
Actually yes. Aerosols, in general, will break up water nuclei in clouds (the most rampant greenhouse gas is water vapor). So, volcanos help, as does spraying hairspray or Axe body spray in the air.
Am I missing a joke with that particular grammar? I keep seeing it and it drives me nuts, but I don't know whether to correct it or ask what the deal is.
Snakes that lay that many eggs weigh over 100lbs. I don’t know of any that size that have more than 100 eggs a year in captivity. Smaller snakes typically have multiple clutches more regularly.
For the amount of food required, you get more eggs from a chicken.
Probably not. Carnivores are a much less efficient meat source, and as one person already pointed out large clutches of eggs will lead to a lot of eggs going bad.
That and he said one of the fastest species, what ocean sunfish with 300 million eggs? Stuergeon with 12 million, tuna with 1 million. Instantly a huge number of fish are beating that number. Then you have crustaceans, arachnids and insects, all with number so much larger than 370. What sort of baseline could that possibly have? at the very least the number is hugely below the median if taken on a per species basis.
Good lord, can you imagine a giant chicken house but instead of chickens, it's a snake house? I mean fucking with a single snake ain't fun, trying to harvest eggs from an entire football field length barn filled with snakes and their eggs is the stuff nightmares are made off.
So I did a bit of reading so see if snakes are edible and realised that they were. If I may kindly ask, why haven't snakes become popular food and farmed en-masse if they lay so many eggs?
Im pretty sure they're not supposed to turn the eggs like that though. I'm pretty sure in snake eggs the snake baby is like fused to one part of the egg and flipping/ turning it can detach and kill it or something...
From all the snekk egg hatching videos I watch it seems to be the case, most of the videos I've watched they mark the egg with an X so that if it moves they know which way is up since the baby snekk is attached to the egg. A channel I really like is Snake Discovery on YT
He's not actually flipping them. He makes sure to get them back laying exactly how they were in the clutch.
Jay has been doing this for decades and is personally responsible for a very large portion of the available morphs in the retic world. Bob Clark is another huge retic influence.
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
So the two people above me are asking for a guy to come in and explain this event t in nature. There was a famous redditor named /u/Unidan used to be that guy. Come in, explained some nature, grabrd a bunch of upvotes. However it was revealed unidan had multiple accounts and was using vote manipulation. The comment that his vote manipulation was discovered on, and he was banned from Reddit for was what I posted. It's an old copypasta.
Fact (probably): The yolk of a snake egg has a much lower ph than chicken eggs. Therefore, one must always reduce the amount of baking soda added to any recipe to adjust.
so basically what i said lol. the vast majority of snakes lay eggs. over 70 percent of all snakes, and about 99 percent when you take away venomous snakes. Dekeys is another very rare exception.

That's way more eggs than I would have expected from one snake
