Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: DO SNAKES HAVE NESTS? NO. SNAKES LAY EGGS IN WARM, DAMP PLACES SUCH AS WITHIN ROTTEN LOGS, LEAF LITTER, MULCH AND OLD SAWDUST, AND THEN ABANDON THEM. LIVE BEARING SNAKES GIVE BIRTH IN SECLUDED SPOTS AND THE NEWBORN SNAKES DISPERSE RANDOMLY ONCE THEY ARE BORN. MOST "SNAKE NEST" STORIES ARE THE RESULT OF SEVERAL SNAKES BEING SEEN TOGETHER WHICH IS AN UNCOMMON EVENT EXCEPT DURING MATING. A LACK OF HIBERNATION SITES MAY FORCE SNAKES TO CONGREGATE IN SPOTS TOGETHER, SUCH AS WALLS OF ABANDONED BUILDINGS, OLD FOUNDATIONS, AND CAVITIES IN EMBANKMENTS. IN SUCH CASES SNAKES ARE TEMPORARILY UTILIZING A RESOURCE, NOT MEETING TO BUILD A NEST OR SOCIALIZE.
