Do snakes lay eggs?

For most of us, all snakes are the same. We have heard that there are differences between them, but we do not suspect how great they are. One such difference is that different snake species reproduce differently. For example, rattlesnakes, copperheads, water snakes do not lay eggs, but give birth to live young.

Snakes are known that can give birth to up to 75 cubs at a time. Other snakes lay eggs. They usually do this in secluded places, under rocks, under logs, or in empty stumps. In shape, snake eggs are somewhat different from chicken eggs: they are smaller and more authentic. Although the eggs of large snakes may not be inferior in size to chicken ones. The shell of a snake egg is strong enough, it resembles a skin. The number of eggs in a clutch varies depending on the type of snake.

Probably the python lays the most eggs. An Indian python can lay up to 107 eggs at a time. The eggs are usually laid in the sun or in the heat given off by rotting vegetation. Sometimes snakes guard the eggs, curled around them in a ring.

But who will take care of the growing offspring if the number of eggs in a clutch reaches 100 pieces? Nobody! All little snakes are able to take care of themselves from the moment they are born!

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
