== Life Cycle == | == Life Cycle ==Patchnosed snakes are brought into the world through sexual reproduction which involves a male and female Patchnosed snake breeding together. During the male snake's brumation period in the cold winter it will produce sperm so that it is able to breed successfully when spring comes around and he can find a mate. When spring arrives, the male Patchnose will find a female Patchnose snake and mix his sperm with her eggs. About a month after this, the female will lay about a half-dozen eggs together where they will stay until the time comes for them to hatch. After a couple weeks the eggs will hatch and the new hatchlings will emerge. The baby Patchnosed snakes resemble their parents except are smaller variations of them. The distinct markings of a baby Patchnosed snake are also the same as those of its parents which it will retain until the day it dies. The initial birth size of a baby Patchnosed snake is about seven to ten inches in overall length. This will obviously change as time passes and the snake will eventually grow to four or six times its original size. | ||
