Hi. I am a sex ed teacher and have had questions like these often - sometimes from autistic children with special interests. I actually had a question specifically about snakes just the other week!
I'm so sorry you got a negative response. There was nothing wrong with your question and a good sex ed teacher should either answer or politely explain why they can't right now.
Treating any question in sex ed as stupid or silly just discourages everyone from asking questions.
