I have a large natural history library including three dedicated books on Australian reptiles and found that ....... the slatey-grey lays eggs :-(
so I did a google and found ....... the slatey-grey lays eggs :-(
If it helps any one else , the keelback eggs take 12 to 15 weeks

pheromones.
The girls still smell right (dispite the addition smell of warm tyre rubber) and if a male sees an oppertunity then ........
This attitude is not restricted to snakes.

You are right fuscus. Male is stimulated by chemical signals rather than the female's behaviours. Her smell is the go for it.

The smallest snake is proberly the Darwin blind snake Ramphotyphlops tovelli. It is known from only 2 specimens (Is it the rarest as well?), the largest of which was only 12 cm.
Incidently, there is another blind snake Ramphotyphlops braminus that is being spread by human activity and has been introduced into Australia. It has a common name of the flowerpot blind snake as it likes flowerpots or regularly watered gardens. And of the 100 or so animals examined all have been female!
