WATCH this gruesome video of a pile of unborn baby snakes spilling across the road after erupting from a pregnant giant anaconda.
The grim footage shows an enormous anaconda split down her entire length with a slimy heap of dead miniature snakes oozing from her belly onto the tarmac.

The baby snakes all look well-formed and are over a foot long, suggesting they were almost ready to be born.
Although unsettling, the pattern formed by the snakes swirling around each other is mesmerising.
This effect is majorly disrupted by the guts and gore mixed amongst them, however.
The disgusting scene was the aftermath of the pregnant anaconda being run over by a car on the motorway, causing her belly to rupture.
The incident took place on the MT-338 motorway, in Porto dos Gauchos, central-west Brazil on Monday.
In the video the dead five-metre snake with its belly split open, thought to be a green anaconda, lies lifeless in the road in a puddle of around 40 of its offspring.
The snake was clearly heavily pregnant.
None of the baby snakes survived, with the video showing them lying lifelessl next to the corpse of their mother.
The scene was videoed by the friend of a fisherman and YouTuber named called Ederson Negri Antonioli, local media reports.
Antonioli told local media: “The video was made by a friend of mine, who came from Goias to go fishing with me.
“When he was returning, he came across this unusual scene and decided to record it to send to me.”
The green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is one of the largest snakes in the world and can reach over eight metres in length and weigh up to 100 kg.
Most snakes lay eggs, but anacondas are viviparous meaning they give birth to live young.
Another giant snake in difficulty was spotted in Thailand last month after it ate an entire dog.
Video footage showed an enormous 20ft python squirming against the current in deep floodwater with a huge bloated belly bobbing up in the air.
The viral video showed the colossal snake swaying along the surface of muddy floodwater with litter and debris bobbing past.
There was a very large bulge along its body, but the huge head was submerged and out of sight.
Neighbours had noticed their chickens going missing, and the snake appeared to be the culprit.
It was even claimed that the snake had consumed an entire dog as its most recent meal.
When locals returned to the site a few days later, they saw the snake bobbing on the surface, apparently dead.
