Are you sure that the two big bumps in Yummystein's tummy are caused by
eating Frogsteins? They could also be caused by a twin pregnancy, you
know. In any case, I award 3 Birdsteins for the commentary!

There _IS_ a snake that gives "live" birth (tho it's just a timing issue; the offspring don't have belly buttons....). I seem to recall it's the common "garter" snake.

There has been some evidence of primitive placental structures in this complex as well. Boa constrictors also bear living young that develope in embryonic sacs within the female and are born alive as miniatures of the adults. -- Kurt Schatzl President-Elect, NEHS.

Well, it seems that i have gotten to this post before anyone else managed to.....in fact MANY species of snakes give "live" birth, meaning that the young develop fully in side the mother's body, in cluding ALL boa species (pythons lay eggs), garter snakes, and many species of venomous snakes.......i don't know how this argument arose, but i am happy to be a contributing "wiseacre". :) chris koester

[ 8< ] I think you people are beginning to lose touch with the beginning of this thread, where a certain PC claimed that maybe the snake had two lumps on its body because of a twin pregnancy. I suspect that not in any of the cases that people have been kind enough to inform us all about is the "pregnancy" such that one single baby snake would cause a big lump on the mother's body... -- :) Veronica Karlsson ( e93...@sm.luth.se http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ ) ( llizard's fanclub: http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/llpages )
