Boas do not lay eggs, they give live birth to their young. This keeps the fetuses temperature consistent, provides food via an internal yolk sack and protects the young from predators. The young are forced out an opening in the snake called the cloaca during birth.

The second group of snakes giving live birth are vipers, or snakes from the Viperidae family. These snakes are found all across the world. Vipers are all venomous snakes, and are almost always equipped with sharp rear fangs to deliver to poison.

The third type of snake that birth live young is the common garter snake, which is the most widely distributed snake in North America. They are nonpoisonous and eat things like mice, frogs and earthworms.

Garter snakes and rattlesnakes give birth to live young; the eggs develop inside the mother's body before they are born.

No I think they lay eggs and then the eggs hatch.

^^ that's true, but a lot of other snakes have live children as well(:
