Interesting footage has emerged from Derby, UK of a Boa constrictor giving birth.
The video, filmed on May 17, shows the snake releasing one of the baby reptiles while others lie nearby.
The filmer wrote : ''17 healthy babies bred - I was lucky enough to capture the birth.''
Unlike other species, Boa constrictors do not lay eggs. They are classified as being ovoviviparous, which means that their eggs emerge inside of the body.
