random question
Can you feed snakes a hard boiled egg?? If it was the right size, would there be any benefits or issues? I wouldnt feed my rosy an egg but it was a random thought i had while i ate my eggs for breakfast this morning

Re: random question
I've heard of people doing it. Not sure if it would be beneficial or not. I know many snakes love eggs.

Re: random question
I don't think it would be a good idea unless it's fertalized, cause it wont do much good for the snake if it's a dud egg. Plus I wouldn't do hardboiled, we're the only ones who cook our food, animals can't take cooked food, or at least they shouldn't have it.

Re: random question
Snakes are built to eat whole prey items. if it ain't broke I wouldnt worry about fixing it.

Re: random question
I read about somebody who fed a overweight corn snake powdered hard boiled egg-whites, he did that to get the snake to lose weight while maintaining a normal feeding schedule.. It actually worked, still surprised me it even ate it. Because of that it doesn't sound like a smart idea to feed as a steady diet, there's not much energy in just egg(whites).

Re: random question
I know someone fed their hognose eggs when it wouldn't eat anything else? But heck if I know if it was a good idea or not.
