Could my leviathans exist?

Leviathans are closely related to hydrophis spiralis. Some characteristics of these leviathans include:
- continuing to grow until they die and are able to grow almost as large as a blue whale
- are warm blooded similar to mosasaurs, birds, and mammals (optional)
- experience negligible senescence
- scales are made of the same material as Limpets teeth
- are carnivorous
- rarely breed
- give live birth similar to mosasaurs
- can spit out a burning spray similar to a bombardier beetle
Given these characteristics, could such a creature realistically exist and what evolutionary pressures would lead to them?
NOTE: magic does not exist in my story
