If you have never seen this, you really should.
Back when we relocated those 50 snakes from my aunt’s house, we noticed that about a dozen of the female Red-Bellied Snakes were pregnant. This gave us the opportunity to watch some being born.
Some snakes lay eggs while others, like the Red-Bellied Snakes give live birth. When these snakes give live birth, the newborn babies come out inside a little sac. In this video, you can see two newborn baby Red-Bellied Snakes emerging from their sacs.
In size, these sacs were just a little bigger than a tic tac breath mint, so they are rather small. Not only did this give me an opportunity to show my @little-peppers the miracle of birth from the snake’s point of view, now you can check it out too!

There is no audio on this one, and the second snake emerges at about 3 minutes 21 seconds.
