Goldfish are egg layers. Unless you have Comets, (commonly referred to as "feeder fish", or "carnival goldfish"), or Koi, they are both in the Carp family and are live-bearing. Meaning once the female gives birth, you must seperate the "fry" a.k.a. baby fish from all other fish in the tank or they'll become a snack. Pet stores sell breeder boxes to float in your tank that the babies stay in until they're big enough that they won't get eaten, there's also special food for babies once they're born or hatched from eggs.

Not necessarily. Snakes don't protect their babies like other animals. Some snakes lay eggs, and once the eggs are laid, the mother goes off in search of food. The babies are on their own. Even snakes who give birth to live babies do so, and the babies are then left to fend for themselves.
Dear Willi,
Snakes, being reptiles, lay eggs.
Just about all reptiles do.
As to whether there are eggs laid in your house, that is a really good question, since snakes do go into homes to lay eggs on occasion.
Since poison would not hurt them much, but it might you, I should refrain from using poison.
I forget the time it takes to hatch them, but you might wish to do a house inspection for the next few months as a regular daily routine.
The name of the snake you found is a black racer, and they are harmless to people and animals, but they eat lots of bugs and sometimes mice.
God bless your efforts.
A platypus is both a monotreme and a mammal. All monotremes belong to the class Mammalia, but instead of giving birth to live young like most mammals, monotremes lay eggs. The platypus and echidna are the only known monotremes alive today.
A good rule of feeding is to feed no more than the fish will
consume completely in less than five minutes. You can always give them another
small feeding if necessary.Don't over
feed your fish it's very harmful for the fish and in worst cases can even cause
death.
Once a day is enough ifyou have less than 4 goldfish. If youhave more than 4 or they are particularly large I would feed them twice. Each feeding should be either one pellet or apinch of flakes.
