How Python female keep laid eggs worm? Scientific term for it please.

 

[python_guy44]

the eggs are layed and they stick to gether so they dont roll away. the mother wraps round the pile and this keeps them warm with her body heat. They mother also shivers which keeps them warmer aswell when wrapped around.

this is called "maternal incubation"

[Brodie]

Only terms i can remember hearing are 'shivering' and 'maternal incubation'

Scientific term for it is called spasmodic shivering by my book.

Next question
How many species is in Phytons family? And how many species have slateman home?

 

[Guest]

aspedites morelia liasis antaresia so four python species

 

[python_guy44]

I have a few questions for you Slatey.

Do you want the species family genus like BS displayed?
Or do you want the actual species/subspecies within the familys?
Do you want world wide species or just Australian?
Do you expect an exact number such as 595 or are you excepting over 500 species (as written in alot of books etc).

My answer is
There is 26 familys (genera) of pythons worldwide.
Within those 26 familys exists 595 species and subspecies world wide...


i know the slateman home has olives and diamond so thats 2 species.
