How long is the black mamba gestational period?

The black mamba's gestational period is not applicable since they are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young. After mating, female black mambas typically lay between 10 to 25 eggs, which incubate for about 60 to 70 days before hatching. The young snakes are independent and fully capable of fending for themselves shortly after emerging from the eggs.
