The process of reproduction without male is known as asexual reproduction. Though asexual reproduction is not common in snakes, but it does happen.

Female snakes reproduce through internal fertilization. They lay eggs or give birth to live young, depending on the species. Some species are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs, while others are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young.

Reproduction in female snakes typically occurs through oviparity, in which the female snake lays eggs that eventually hatch into baby snakes. Female snakes store the eggs internally until they are ready to lay them in a safe environment. The mother snake then abandons the eggs to hatch on their own. Depending on the species, the baby snakes will be completely independent from birth or require care and feeding from the mother for the first few weeks.

A females cloaca is shallow. The first snake to successfully wrap his tail around the female and meet at the right point for intercourse to occur gets to mate. Male snakes have a pair of sex organs called hemipenis and these extend and release the sperm into the female snake

male snake mates with a female snake by inserting one of his hemipenes into the female's cloaca. This fertilizes the eggs inside her oviduct. A month after, she lays her eggs, which hatch two months later. Other species, such as boas, give birth to live young.
