Question 12

More eggs?-eastern Brown
Why?-King Brown have large eggs
Answers question12:
Stafsrule
The Eastern Brown Snake (or common brown) lays more eggs than the King Brown Snake (or Mulga ).
The Eastern Brown laying clutches of 10 - 35 eggs and the King Brown laying clutches of 7 - 20 eggs.
The reason for this is that the King Brown snake is not a brown snake at all but in fact it is a black snake.
Black snakes having smaller clutches in general than Brown snakes.

eastern brown snakes lay more than the king brown or mulga snake due to the egg size the king brown lays. hatchling easterns avg snout-vent length of 19cm, kings avg snout-vent length of 25cm.
Junglemad
Eastern Browns lay more eggs than King Browns. The Eastern Brown average clutch is around 16 eggs and the King Brown usually lays around 9.
The reason for this are the different reproductive strategies used by both species.Eastern Brown evolution has resulted in a strategy of producing more eggs than King Browns but King Brown hatchlings are twice the size of an Eastern Brown hatchling. The breeding energy of each species has been used either on producing more individuals or on producing fewer larger individuals.

The Eastern brown snake averages larger clutches than the King brown snake.
The Eastern brown lays between 10 - 35 eggs while the King brown only lays between 9 - 16 eggs
This is because of the size differences between the eggs.
The king brown lays larger diameter eggs than the Eastern brown.
Of course hatchlings are also larger at birth.
King browns average 25cm in length at hatching while Eastern browns average only 19cm in length at hatching.
