There is less available on the Argonians than that of the Khajiit. But there are some basic assumptions we can make. They are (supposed to be) Compatable with Men and Mer and can produce offspring, so the likelyhood of Eggs is low, in fact "eggs" would assure certain incompatabilities with the other races.

---

Pherhaps they are supposed to, but there hasn't been one (reported) Argonian other race. This could be because the Argonians lay eggs, or pherhpas becuase nobody wants to say they have a child with a Argonian.

Although i doubt the last one, becuase in all of history, somebody should and probably would have talked.

Like all reptiles, they are cold blooded, and in colder regions require sun basking, to raise there body heat.

They also have a very different way to identify sex, the best way is to look at there crest, like every other reptile only the male has a very pronounced crest, wile the female has none.

another way to identify the sexes is by the markings. The male has a different scale pattern on there back. This pattern is a large blue group of scales stretching from there top head to the tip of there tail. You will also find these blue scales on there hands, and hips. There feet are also covered with blue scales in the middle.

Argonian claws are extremely sharp, as males use them as powerful weapons. Often an Argonian will sharpen there claws, both on the feet and the hands. The claws on the feet are very long, almost a foot in length. and can cut a chest of a human in very little time.

Like every reptile they lay eggs , the egg are soft and white. It has also been recorded that Argonian have fangs the carry poison glands, and that they are very resistant of disease, and immune to poison

The same could be said about any other interracial (interspecies?) mating...(besides that of men and mer). You'd think someone would have come forward by now? That doesn't necessarily tell us anything. Has there been one reported Khajiit/Mer breeding? Orc/Human? Etc...

On the world of Nirn, all was chaos. The only survivors of the twelve worlds of Creation were the Ehlnofey and the Hist. The Ehlnofey are the ancestors of Mer and Men. The Hist are the trees of Argonia.
.....
.....
The Hist were bystanders in the Ehlnofey war, but most of their realm was destroyed as the war passed over it. A small corner of it survived to become Black Marsh

---

The Ehlnofey are the ancestors of all men and mer so it would be reasonable to believe that all of them can interbreed.

I can't recall any Khjiitii or Orsimer half-breds but they have certainly "wrestled" each other, just remember Barenziah and the thief.

Argonians are ovoviviparous. [Wow. I was SURE I'd never have to use that word again.] They don't lay eggs like reptiles.

From BlueDev:

Men and Mer assume much about Argonians, but who among them has ventured deep into Black Marsh and lived to tell about it? They assume that Argonians lay eggs because they resemble the tree-dwelling lizards that scurry about on four legs. Yet they assume Argonians have live births, because the females have breasts with which they might suckle their young. Perhaps it is both, as necessity demands. All live at the whim of the Great Root.

Or because an Argonian says that he didn't hatch yesterday ... *cough* Just a figure of speech, I suppose.

Which is why I said "Perhaps it is both, as necessity demands."

Never underestimate the adaptability of Argonians, or, more specifically, the power of the Hist to allow Argonians to adapt.

I wouldn't expect to hear an Argonian born in Skyrim (or on Solstheim, for that matter) mention being hatched. Nor would I expect to hear more transient Argonians (say, members of a small, nomadic tribe) speak about laying eggs. However, in warmer climates, in places with established, stable, and permanent communities, you would likely see a great number of eggs.

Well, he says that he *didn't* hatch yesterday, so maybe he also didn't hatch the day before that or any day at all. That is, he didn't hatch yesterday, because he didn't hatch at all.

And not all sayings are literally true. This goes double for Argonians, who are not only quite socially different from the other races, but also quite secretive . . . I suppose this makes this a bit like developers!

This means that the only way to get Argonian eggs are to kill a pregnant Argonian female and cut the egg out of her.
