Not until I confirmed it.
What did you confirm? That the young snakes eat their mother and crawl out?

That is not anywhere close to a Python. Neither that is a cobra. That’s a Ringhal snake. Has almost similar look to a cobra, but not a cobra
Certainly not Ringhal,Ringhal can only be found in southern part of African. That a viper for sure

No, that not all snakes lay eggs. I didn't see anywhere they said the young snakes eat their mother before crawling out.....My focus was more on whether they lay eggs or not.

Any fat and short snake I see, I call it boar
Long and fat I call python
Long and thin I call cobra
Small and thin, non poisonous snake
Wahala for who take snake advice from me

Yes.. when its time for birth, they bite n kill mother snake to get to our world. The mother doesn't survive the bites.

Yoruba would say "omo inu oka, lo se ku pa oka" meaning babies of a cobra brings death to its mother.

All the 50 are unlikely to survive though.
Some will be eaten by birds of the air like eagles and hawks!

No snake does this.

This must be some folklore in your village.

Ovoviviparity is a thing, but definitely not the way you have described it. The egg is formed and hatched inside. Ain’t no snake laying eggs to swallow them again. No no!
He's still right tho. The mother snake dies after d eggs have been hatched into young snakes. HV seen such on natgeo wild.

Forget about internet ask old people especially those from village.We that have lived in the village can testify bro.

Most snakes lay eggs, few give live birth. No specie lay egg, then swallow it to then give live birth! None

False claim! Cobra lay eggs and they hatch. It's puff adder that has birth live offsprings and the markings on the little snakes confirm this.

That guy in green holding the snake with the head is playing with death. A dead snake or animal can still exhibit reflex attack movements via Cadaveric spasm or rigor mortis.

I heard they will swallow the eggs when nearing hatch time. They eventually will kill the mother and crawl out of her to find a new life. She must have been suffering from the damages they're inflicting on us leading to sloppiness and loss of speed and agility making it easier for the workers to kill her.

This is Boa not Cobra. Cobra is pure black while Boa is brown with black lining as seen moreover Boa is Oviviparous( IE hatch it's baby from inside while cobra is not. From the pic cobra is not as big as the snake in the pic
That's not a boa, boa let eggs as well. It's not a cobra either
