?? Please educate me if my understanding is wrong since I'm not that versed in animal biology, but...... for as long as an animal is carrying a baby (egg or otherwise) aren't they normally called pregnant????
Or is there some other term for when an egg-laying animal is carrying, but not yet ready to lay the eggs?
I'm not attacking you are anything, I'm genuinely curious (cause its interesting to know IF there was a different term for a pregnant egg-laying animal)
But snakes lay eggs?? Translation error? Or does the author just not know that snakes are oviporous?
