So by my calculations, if you round up a bit, and carry the 5, then snakes got 1 and some change snitties. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 child) It is usually related to the number of offspring in a single birth. So between 1 and 150 according to the laziest Google search I ever did. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago My theory is that snitty count would be biologically decoupled from the number of offspring in a single birth because virtually all snake species are self-reliant in terms of feeding themselves once they hatch and thus the role of the snitty would not be for feeding the offspring. permalink fedilink source parent
