CONS

Egg eating snakes eat eggs, cornsnakes are not one of those snakes. If you are feeding your snake *healthy* feeder rodents, their is nothing more it needs. If you want to make sure your snake has maximum nutrition, look to the rodetns it is eating and make sure they are getting the best nutrition. There is also no need to add variety to your snakes diet, that can lead to fussy eating problems and preferences which can lead to an imbalanced diet. So just make sure your feeding healthy rodetns and your snake will be receiving maximum nutrtion he can from his food ;)

Personally i would not do it!

Sing her happy b-day if youd like!

(even though she's got no external hearing .. I'm sure deep down inside she'lll know what your doing!!!)

Don't apologize for asking questions! The more quesitons you ask, the more you learn. We are happy to answer everyones questions :)

I'm with Dom on this one, just avoid the egg idea entirely. As stated above, healthy snakes eating well do not need any supplementation. They aren't like people, nor do they have the same emotions, a snake will not appreciate anything extra on its birthday (doesnt even know what one of those are), as Dom said, if you really want to do something, then just sing her happy birthday, make her a card, or what have you............
