what type of snakes give live birth?
232384
Some snakes, such as boas, rattlesnakes and garter snakes, give birth to live young. That means that the baby snakes develop inside their mother. When they are born they are covered with a thin membrane, kind of like a goopy baggie. The baby uses an egg tooth to rip out of the membrane and wriggle free.

Another difference is that pythons lay eggs, but most boa constrictors give live birth. Both snakes are considered primitive because they have two lungs and vestigial leg bones, but boas have fewer bones in their head, and fewer teeth. Finally, pythons are, on average, larger than boas.

Baby snakes ARE venomous. There is an age-old myth amongst many people that certain species have snakes that are more venomous as babies than their adult counterparts. This is not true.

The young of most egg-laying reptiles hatch long after the parents have abandoned the eggs; a few lizards and snakes guard them, and pythons incubate their eggs for a while. The young of those female snakes that carry their eggs inside the body until they hatch also receive no parental care.

Like other livebearing aquarium fish, swordtails (Xiphophorus hellerii) give birth to live young, or fry, rather than laying eggs. Although the swordtail's gestation period is 28 days, it may be difficult to determine when she became pregnant.

Rattlesnakes are best known for, and most easily recognized by, their rattle. The rattlesnake babies are born with what is called a pre-button. The baby snake loses this piece when it sheds its skin for the first time. With the shedding a new button appears.

Snakes like some types of boas, pipesnakes and water snakes are viviparous. Whether they give birth to eggs or live babies, most snake moms won't care for their young, although some will actually stay for the first couple of days or weeks of their lives to protect them from predators.

The Hognose Snake (Heterodon) is one of the best beginner pet snakes with a bit of a catch. They require a regular light schedule, and they can be finicky eaters at a young age. If you choose to get a Hognose Snake, be sure you ask the breeder if they have properly acclimated the snake with feeding.
