    The exaggerated eyebrows lashes on the one snake (but not the other) to ensure we know that one of them’s a lady makes me wonder if the artist woulda put some big ole snitties on her if they’d drawn the rest of the body.

        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.
