There is one point that should be made clear. Snakes are not born, they
are hatched. In other words snakes form inside of an egg and are not
attached by an umbilical cord to the mother. That egg may be carried
inside the mother but the offspring are still hatched.
I think this point may have a bearing on whether a male is needed to
fertilize the egg. In higher order mammals reproduction is much more
complicated and we may not find virgin births.
Hi Nicholas,
You're quite right. However, without their father being present, they
grow up to be snakes.
