>>i also think this is an interesting topic, i went into the corn snake forum asking about feeding chicken eggs to a corn. everyone agreed that it was not a good idea or wouldnt work, but then they all start arguing and yelling at me when i tried questioning it.

YES, I run into the same thing, it frustrates the hell out of me!

I don't know why people get so defensive and opinionated on this.

>>one guy said eggs dont provide the nutrients a corn snake needs! i was like okay thats fine but what nutrients dose a mouse have that an egg doesnt? his reply was "well i dont know but it doesnt matter" it was almost as if they where saying "it is what it is, cant tell you why just accept it" lol it was great they got so mad at me

YES!!!! Thank you for saying this, this is exactly what I run up against as well. It's amazes me how many experts there are on snake nutrition, considering we don't really know very well how it all works... in humans, the most studied animal on the planet.



I've gotten the same type of responses - "lizards don't have enough meat on them" or "they don't provide enough nutrition." I fully recognize I am taking a risk by doing things a little differently and Jack could drop dead tomorrow, but according to a lot of self-proclaimed experts he should already be dead, or at least severely emaciated, by now.



Thanks,

Ed
