Benefits?
1. Not having to worry about incubating the eggs.
2. The live young can disperse immediately, so your reproductive efforts are not all concentrated in one place - in case a predator comes by (not putting your eggs in the one basket).
3. Young can look after themselves immediately (snakes, anyway). Venomous snakes are venomous from the moment they hatch (well, before they hatch, actually).
