The way I see it snakes have approximately half as many holes as mammal ladies, since the have no ears and a multipurpose cloaca. So by my calculations, if you round up a bit, and carry the 5, then snakes got 1 and some change snitties.

    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.

    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.
