Comments: Oviparous; can have 6 to 11 egg-cases per oviduct (more usually 6 to 9) at a time; although eggs are eventually laid, they are apparently retained inside the oviducts until the embryos inside them are fairly advanced(at least 43 mm long) which lowers their hatching time and exposure to egg-predators.
