Do snakes lay eggs?
user
No.  They give birth to live young.
assistant
Oh okay. How many live young can they have at once?
user
Well, some snakes are larger than others, so they would have a different number of babies at once.  The red-bellied water snake is one of the smallest in North America.  It lays six eggs in its nest, and those eggs incubate for about two weeks.  When the babies are born, they are about an inch long.  After about two months, the babies have become adults, and they are usually about two and a half feet long.
