ive heard something along those lines and that there are a couple python species with live birth how true that one is im not sure of is an interesting thought though isnt it?

It is neat the calabar was originally a part of the python family but this was changed after further research

I had no idea. It's sort of like the platypus being the only egg laying mammal.:) Why are they classified as boas though?

Echidnas are also monotremes (egg laying mammals).
