Hello, I need a help. Do you know how many eggs usually lay females of dwarf breaked snake (Dipsina multimaculata), also known as western breaked snake? Thank you for help!

Re: Dwarf breaked snake's eggs

I personally don't know anything about the Dwarf Beaked snakes, but according to an internet search the information is as follows:

Distribution and habitat

This snake species distribution includes the Namibian coast line, southern Namibia, the Northern Cape, Western Cape and parts of the Eastern Cape an North West province. Its favored habitat is the Namib desert but also includes karoo scrub and arid savanna.

Food

Its diet consists almost exclusively of lizards.

Predators, parasites and disease

Eaten by other snakes, birds of prey (particularly secretary birds and snake eagles) and small carnivorous mammals (e.g. mongooses).

Reproduction

Oviparous (egg-laying), lays between 2 and 4 eggs in midsummer.

Longevity

The lifespan of this snake is likely to be between 10 and 15 years.
