I have an egg-eating snake (Dasypeltis). I recently purchased it from a herp. The herp told me the snake was eating button quail eggs, so i purchased a bunch of button quail eggs on eggbid.com. The only problem is that the snake doesn't even care about the eggs. It sleeps all day (which is normal) but also nighttime as well. I went to sleep at 3am once and it was still sleeping. When i try to introduce it to the eggs, it ignores them. I've had the snake close to 2 weeks. I really don't know whats going on. I originally thought the eggs were too big, but I don't see how i could've gotten it wrong, plus the herp told me otherwise. The eggs are like 4x or 5x the size of its head. any advice? why wont my snake eat?
