Snakes protect their eggs by wrapping around them, forming a circle in which the eggs are in the middle. What predator would dare attempt to steal an egg within the strike range of a snake?
Some snakes actually give live birth (eww)

Some snakes will bury their eggs and leave them there in hopes they are going to hatch.

Some snakes lay on their eggs to protect them and get very aggressive if a predator comes too close.

It really depends on the type of snake you are asking about

They do not. Some snake guard their eggs and will attack a predator that gets near them, but after hatching or, for some species, birth, young snakes mus fend for themselves.
