Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I had posted this before, but it seems my post disappeared, or was deleted or something. Quite possibly my fault, I am not great with computers.

I am not trying to "stir" anything, but are very curious about a couple things.

Do all the snakes in your sig really live off of eggs, and how they were doing on that diet? Are you feeding them fertilized eggs, at some level of development, so that they are in effect eating chicks? What are the droppings of a snake that eats mostly eggs that would usually have a diet that contains roughage (fur/bones)like?

And I was also curious do you support the rights of private citizens in this country to keep, breed and work with snakes like Burmese Pythons & Reticulated Pythons?

I answered this yesterday, but I'm not surprised if it got lost in the maze somehow or other. I'll try again --

>>Do all the snakes in your sig really live off of eggs, and how they were doing on that diet?

No, they do not. That particular canard got started because I mentioned on another forum that I would like to have egg-eating snakes (Dasypeltis). I certainly have enough eggs to keep them happy!

I do plan to occasionally feed my corns eggs, but not as a steady diet. I have eggs in all sizes from button quail to duck and, in the spring, turkey -- so I'll have a wide range to choose from.

>>Are you feeding them fertilized eggs, at some level of development

They will be fertilized but non-incubated.

>>And I was also curious do you support the rights of private citizens in this country to keep, breed and work with snakes like Burmese Pythons & Reticulated Pythons?

Certainly, as long as they can do so responsibly. No, I don't have an exact definition for "responsible".

Thanks for (re?)answering those!

I sometimes give my snakes/lizards and other critters eggs too (chukar, quail & dove for the most part), and the corns & rats love them.
