Had no idea there were snakes that had live birth, always assumed they were all egg layers. Neat

Snakes are ovoviviparous. This means they form an egg, but then hold the egg within themselves.

This is a form of live birth but it's different from the viviparity of mammals in the sense that the egg isn't connected to the mother's body in any way. It's just inside them.
