Unlike most species of snakes anacondas are ovoviviparous, which means that they give birth to live young.

You can think of ovoviviparity as a “cross” between an egg-laying snake and one that gives live births. Ovoviviparous snakes develop non-shelled eggs inside their bodies, where the young develop from. But the young ones are usually born alive without the eggs or eggshells because they remain inside the mother
