Do all reptiles reproduce by laying eggs?
Dear student.
All reptiles are oviparous means they lay eggs that hatch into young ones. But actually that is not entirely true. Some exceptions are there. Some snakes like Boa snakes, Garter snakes and most of the Viper snakes are ovoviviparous that means they retain the eggs within their body and the babies hatch inside the mother and come out later on. So, they also lay eggs but have some modification in terms of giving birth to young ones and all reptiles are oviparous.
Regards.
