Agreed, while there is an apparent spectrum from oviparity to viviparity in snakes, it does seem like oxytocin may be more effective in viviparous species than it is with inducing egg laying in oviparous species. The physiology of viviparity may possibly be more conducive to the effects of oxytocin.
