Most snakes produce eggs of some kind. However there are some types of snakes that are ovoviviparous. This means that the eggs hatch while still inside the mother snake, and live snakes are born. Most vipers use this birthing strategy.

Egg-laying snakes are known as oviparous. About 70 per cent of snakes in the world lay eggs. Most oviparous snakes do not care for their nests; they simply lay the eggs in hollows or in the ground. Pythons however wrap their bodies around their eggs in an attempt to keep them warm.

Two well-known groups of snakes that develop the eggs inside their bodies are the Garter snakes and Boa constrictors. The females of both species retain the developing embryos (in individual membrane sacs) inside their bodies until the young snakes are fully developed. The female then expels the young from her cloaca.

pythons do actually incubate their eggs. they coil up above their eggs and raises their body temperature just the exact heat to brood the eggs.
