When do snakes mate?

The breeding season usually occurs during early spring. Many species have just come out of hibernation, and are ready to search for mates. In captivity - snakes will breed all year round - since they're usually kept in regulated conditions so there's no actual 'season'

The vent is at the end of the snake's body, and just before the tail (yes, they have bodies and tails). This is the area where waste is excreted, and where the sexual organs are located (roughly). During mating the male's sex organ will come out of the vent, and enter the female.

Laying eggs is like most other reptiles. The female will take calcium out of her body to produce the eggs (that's why it's so important to make sure gravid females have lots of calcium). Once the clutch is ready to be laid, the female passes them out from the vent. However boas give birth to live young! So do vipers.

This is a very basic idea of how snakes work.

When snakes mate the male and female wrap around each other. Then the female will either lay eggs or have live young.
