Well, actually no vipers lay eggs, so no worries there. Coral snakes are the only venomous species in the area that lays eggs but their clutch sizes are not anywhere near as large as you are describing so that’s pretty unlikely.
As far as your yard being inundated with snakes, that’s not like likely to happen, for several reasons. Mostly because your yard likely can’t support that many snakes. You also have to account for those that will become prey, starve, and just die due to other natural selection based causes. Also, many will certainly dissipate in search of their own territory in other yards.
If you haven’t moved them just leave them be. They can only do good things for your yard via natural pest control
