Hoarseness is generally caused by irritation of, or injury to, the vocal cords. The larynx (also referred to as the voice box), is the portion of the respiratory (breathing) tract containing the vocal cords. The vocal cords are two bands of muscle that form a V inside the larynx.
In some species babies are born alive. Other species lay eggs. In a strange combination of the two, some snakes have eggs that stay in their bodies until the eggs hatch and then the babies are born. Snakes can have anywhere from one to 150 baby snakes at a time.
Report Abuse. Snakes produce several eggs at a time (called a clutch) rather then just a single egg. Depending on the number it can take just a few minutes to a few hours to lay the entire clutch. Some snakes give birth to live young rather then eggs. Thea Â· 7 years ago.
