We all raise our snakes differently, and I like to give mine a variety. This was never meant to be a post about techniques or whether they should be fed eggs or not.

Meh. I've seen videos on youtube of people feeding rats and mice (grown ones, too) to leopard geckos. Not somewhere i would take info from. (responsible) Zoos also do not usually provide variety to snakes btw. I got right into one once...just rats.
Why would you even want to feed eggs in the first place? I understand that different people keep snakes different ways (i.e some people feed live, some frozen/thawed), but you do not need to, as Aaron put it, "reinvent the wheel". Rats are good, mice are good, quail is good. Eggs are not usually considered good for most snakes, especially corns.
You said that you want to make sure it is being cared for properly in your first post... and your interest and posting on the forum proves that. But it's a bit pointless to feed eggs, when it can be cared for perfectly fine on a rodent diet. I'd not feed eggs if it were my snake, and that's the advice i'd give to you.
Feeding things other than rodents is opening up pandora's box.... just stick with mice and rats. It's good for your snake.
