The way I see it snakes have approximately half as many holes as mammal ladies, since the have no ears and a multipurpose cloaca. So by my calculations, if you round up a bit, and carry the 5, then snakes got 1 and some change snitties.
My theory is that snitty count would be biologically decoupled from the number of offspring in a single birth because virtually all snake species are self-reliant in terms of feeding themselves once they hatch and thus the role of the snitty would not be for feeding the offspring.

It is usually related to the number of offspring in a single birth. So between 1 and 150 according to the laziest Google search I ever did.
