Dangerous Zoo Snake Gives Birth To 35 Babies
Dangerous Zoo Snake Gives Birth To 35 Babies
Litter Could Break Record
Source: NBC4
COIMBATORE, India -- One of the world's most poisonous snakes gave birth to what may be a record number of snakes at a zoo in India. The Russell's viper snake is one of only 30 percent of land snakes that do not lay eggs but give birth to live offspring.
The snake at the Indian zoo gave birth to 35 snakes. The normal litter for this kind of snake would be about 15. The vipers' poison is deadlier than that of cobras. The baby snakes can only feed on live flies and insects and may grow as long as 30 feet.

Not sure what they were trying to say. They get about 4-5.5' long, not 30'. They average 25-30 in a litter with a max of over 60, 15 would unusually low. The babies eat rodents, not flies. Basically nothing they said is correct and they seem to have just picked random information out of the air.
