| | Most also lack the enlarged ventral scales that allow other snakes to move about on land, and hence are rather helpless out of the water. | | | The EMBL reptile database has been especially useful for the latest records of the numbers of species in each genus and their distribution. | | | However, since no one formula has yet been agreed on, and the sea snakes have such obvious physiological differences to meet their unique way of life, the traditional arrangement looks set to stay around for a while longer. |

| | Superimposition of reproductive mode data from the literature over phylogenetic classification systems reveals that viviparity (live-bearing reproduction) has evolved on at least 35 independent occasions among the Serpentes, once in the Amphisbaenia, and once in the Ichthyosauria. | | | Of the ophidian origins of the live-bearing mode, at least fourteen have occurred in the Colubridae, twelve in the Viperidae, three in the Hydrophiidae (used in the sense of Smith et al., 1977), and one in each of the following groups: Boidae, Acrochordidae, Tropidophiidae, Uropeltidae, Typhlopidae, and Elapidae. | | | At present, however, at least 92 origins of viviparity can be recognized within the class Reptilia. |
