A snakes offspring

A snake's offspring are called hatchlings if they are born from eggs, or neonates if they are born live. Most snake species are oviparous, laying eggs that incubate until they hatch, while some, like boa constrictors, are viviparous, giving birth to live young. The number of offspring can vary widely depending on the species, ranging from just a few to several dozen. After birth, the young snakes are typically independent and must fend for themselves immediately.
