Do snakes give birth directly or eggs (detailed introduction)

Snakes are oviparous, meaning they reproduce by producing eggs. Most snakes do not lay eggs, but instead incubate the eggs inside their bodies and then give birth to young snakes. This process is called ovoviviparity.

In ovoviviparous snakes, the female incubates eggs inside her body and gives birth to young snakes. In this case, the egg shell does not harden when it hatches inside the snake's body, but instead forms a shell membrane inside the female snake's body. This allows the eggs hatched inside the snake's body to not become fragile and unable to rupture through birth. Some snakes that lay eggs lay their eggs into the environment and then hatch them under suitable conditions.

In short, snakes reproduce through ovoviviparous method, which is where they differ from mammals.
