    It might be proof. And it is indeed necessary to use males. A more scientific experiment would be to have 3 populations of snakes, each of a 1:1 gender ratio. Using younger snakes, you'd track their growth rates over an extended period of time. You can't use one snake because she might have particular characteristics that skew the results. Snake growth is a better metric than egg laying because so many untestable variables exist with females laying eggs. Also, this way doesn't give any information on males. Most males are smaller, so maybe mice are suitable for them. Now, I'm not saying you need to do that, but it's important to know the limits of any observation
