"After decades of watching snakes nest, in nature. It becomes clear, they do not place their eggs in areas to hatch the eggs. They place their eggs in areas that have the highest survival rate for the hatchlings. Which normally means, at or near the spot the adults hatched. Whats important is, neonate survival, not eggs hatching"





How would there ever be any "survival" if there is no "hatching"?



Wouldn't the females already be in a suitable place that supports both? Why on earth else would she be there in the first place then? If she isn't, then they don't hatch OR survive. Last time I checked, it's tough for a snake to survive without hatching first.



And how on earth would you ever know if each one did or didn't that was EVER hatched in that area?...



OH!!-OH!!-OH!! I know the answer!............you wouldn't..



Frank, why are you always trying to make such a "Dr. Doolittle" deal out of everything, especially the very obvious? (oops!, why did I ask).



She would be there just like any others would be because they also hatched fairly close by and of course have fed around that area too.



I don't have to act like I follow them around 24/7 with a note pad to know this Frank. Why are you portraying it to be any different than being basically just that simple?.....



"Which normally means, at or near the spot the adults hatched



See what I mean? That was the obvious part of how it all works, so the rest of your long "blah-blah-blah" was pointless.
