"Red Rat Snake" is a common name and common names aren't always accurate (e.g. starfish, jellyfish and silverfish aren't fish - they're echinoderms, scyphozoa and insects respectively).



Rat snakes, like Black, Grey and Yellow, are a different species of snake as Corns.



While Corn Snake do eat eggs, it seems less common of a food source than rodents. Eggs are not eaten as the sole food item by either Corn Snakes or Rat Snakes and I'm not sure they'd be nutritionally complete (like rodents are) - or if the Corn Snake would even eat them at all.
