Despite having its head crushed, the mother snake still writhed on the floor in an attempt to give birth, leaving viewers terrified. The clip is said to have been filmed in a country in Southeast Asia.
Specifically, a fairly large green snake was seen writhing on the floor, having lost a portion of its head. At that moment, the person filming the clip realized that the snake was “in labor” and giving birth to several baby snakes.
The green snakes slowly emerged from the mother snake’s belly and writhed on the floor. In the clip, a girl is heard screaming loudly upon witnessing this horrifying scene. The man present at that moment also used a knife to kill the remaining baby snakes out of fear that they would escape.
After the clip was posted, many people expressed dissatisfaction with the man’s actions. However, there were also opinions suggesting that the man was merely trying to protect his own life and that of his family, which led him to decide to kill the snakes.

Not all snakes lay eggs. Snakes have three forms of reproduction: oviparous (egg-laying), viviparous (live-bearing), and ovoviviparous (egg-live-bearing).
Ovoviviparous or egg-live-bearing is a reproductive method in animals where the embryo develops inside the egg. The eggs are retained within the mother snake’s body until they hatch. The mother snake gives birth, but not because it is pregnant; rather, the fertilized eggs remain in the oviduct until they hatch into young snakes.
According to Seeker, in nature, about 70% of snake species are oviparous. These species typically inhabit warm climates. In contrast, in colder regions, snakes often reproduce via viviparity or ovoviviparity because the ground is not warm enough to incubate the eggs.
