Summary

0005721: Rattlesnakes and copperheads do not lay eggs

Description

I checked the raws, and rattlesnakes and copperheads do not have a lays_egg tag under female caste. Other reptiles do lay eggs, so I assume this is a simple bug. Here is a list of some other reptiles that do lay eggs, which is why I assume this is a simple oversight:

Helmet snake yes
Copperhead (+giant) no
rattlesnake (+giant) no
Kingsnake (+giant) yes
Monitor Lizard (+giant) yes
Salt, Cave Crocodiles + alligator yes
Pond, snapping, etc. tutrles (+giant) yes
tortoise + giant, +gigantic yes

There are other creatures (giant insects, giant frogs, giant crabs, giant slugs, etc.) that don't lay eggs, but I assume that any egg-laying behavior by these creatures should probably handles differently since they either lay underwater, lay egg sacs, or whatever.

Steps To Reproduce

Just have a look at the raws
