some snake mothers go many months without eating to stay by their nests and protect their young.

if the weather is too cold, she will move her body constantly to keep her nest warm. sometimes she may die from cold and hunger and hard work, but her babies will live.

a snake is somebody's mother or father or son or daughter or uncle or aunt or cousin or sister or brother.

all snakes were babies once. some snakes hatch and others are born alive from their mothers, just like you and I.
