How to Care for Egg-Eating Snakes!

Due to popular request, here's how I setup the enclosures for my egg-eating snakes, plus lots of tips and tricks for caring for them!
Music: www.purple-plan... & www.bensound.c...

[@huntress827]

Surprisingly they are not that popular a snake. Since mice are not needed, that wont make anyone (like me) uncomfortable. They dont need much humidity, enrichment is really easy to provide . Also they dont really have teeth so bites are not a big worry. They should be more popular in my opinion but everyone has their preferences, and that's okay.

[@Omfgwhtavid]

I just heard about these for the first time in my life today! My heart skipped a beat when I found out they exist! I’ve always wanted to care for a snake but the mice have put me off. Time for a ton of research and hopefully I’ll have one of these bad bois!

[@oopsiepoopsie2898]

I have never understood why people aren’t down with feeding a snake a mouse or whatever it needs.

[@Omfgwhtavid]

Oopsie Poopsie A Snake has to eat what it has to eat, and I’m glad their owners give them proper food. I just couldn’t do it myself, I love mice and rats.

[@aria6168]

@@oopsiepoopsie2898 Personally I'm squeamish when it comes to rats and dead bodies and stuff that's why I only live vicariously through these videos lol.

[@randid.c3558]

They eat something humans eat (we just eat bigger ones) and have no teeth so are probably less dangerous.Why aren't they more popular?!

[@Lycan4]

For the first seventeen years of my life (give-or-take three of four years at the start), I had a female ball python (normal color, nothing special). That snake and I literally grew up together. I had a huge enclosure for her, with big rocks and branches and a big heat-lamp, that snake was spoiled. Her name was Kahn, and she was a big cuddle-bug, so I would take her out of her enclosure and give her attention on a regular basis. I loved that snake so much. I came home from high school one day, eager to see my girl, only to find out that my mother had sold her behind my back. I tried to get her back, but by the time I found the guy, I learned that he had let Kahn starve because he didn't feel like feeding her, and he didn't put a lamp in for her, so she had also frozen to death. My girl's last moments were starving and freezing to death in a big, empty, plastic bucket. It's been years since then and, needless to say, I don't get along with my mother anymore, and barely speak to her. Now, watching your vids... I just love all the cute little noodles, they're all so cute and wonderful and I love your content, but it also makes me cry a little because I really miss Kahn... I'm currently not economically able to properly care for another snake, but once my situation gets better, I'd love to get into contact with you guys.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

what the hell was your mom thinking?

[@Lycan4]

She got tired of seeing the big enclosure in the house, and the dude she sold Kahn to offered her 20 bucks.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

I feel sorry for your loss, but your mom isn't just intolerant of a sweet little sausage noodle that eats mice once every few weeks/days, she got essentially ROBBED, mine costed ONE HUNDRED dollars, and he is a sweet noodle that is very polite(if your hands don't smell like meat/mice)

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

I have an idea to solve your money problems if you could do this, buy a few mice, and let them breed like crazy, you can get over a hundred from just 5 in a few months, however you have to find someone who is willing to buy, but however it could get out of hand so practice caution

I bet these guys would do well in an arboreal setup, with little nests on the branches that you refill with eggs as they eat them. It would be cute to watch them 'hunt' for the nests.

[@karencostanzo2906]

We recently got a pair of egg eating snakes, and they were eating great (7 eggs between 2 snakes in 10 days) then they stopped for a week, and I got worried. I stumbled across a video (search for "encouraging and egg eater snake to eat for the original - goes to English at about 2 minutes) The short version on what he did - scrape the side of the egg with a sharp knife (like you are peeling a potato) to thin out the shell in a small area near the pointed end of the egg. I tried it, and put the egg and the snake in their smaller vet-transport container, and within 5 minutes she took it. (I had to hold it still so it wouldn't roll around, so technically she has eaten out of my hand.) Since info on these snakes is hard to come by, I thought I'd share.

Couldn't you just crack the egg open in a bowl and suck it up with a syringe or small turkey baster, then squirt it down the snake's throat? I mean there's probably some finesse I'm missing because I've never done it, but the concept isn't that hard.

[@conlon4332]

Well I have pet quail, who's eggs look very much like those (the bigger ones). We eat their eggs. They taste much like chicken eggs, but a bit stronger and richer, and have more yolk compared to white so that's nice. They take maybe 3-6 eggs to be equal to a chicken egg. I mean, chicken eggs vary in size a lot and they vary in size quite a lot too. So 3 particularly big quail eggs might be equal to a particularly small chicken egg, and 6 particularly small quail eggs might be equal to a particularly big chicken egg. Generally it's 4-5 to 1, again depending on size. You can use them for basically everything you'd use chicken eggs for (cakes for example, my Mum says they're not good for Yorkshire Pudding, so maybe avoid them for that) and you can cook them the same ways, although obviously for less time. The conversion rate is a rough guide and you can just judge what seems like the right amount. Also, what you would use a chicken egg for, it might be a bit to much or too little, depending on the size you have, so using smaller _qauil_ eggs you can get a bit more precise. I would generally recommended them, and quail also make great pets, and I've also heard the eggs can be good for allergies, but obviously people have different tastes and some people don't like them. Oh, also the eggs are very pretty, and the shells are often a duck egg blue inside. If you want advice on quail care I've got loads so just ask, but I'm leaving this already long comment here for now.

Do you plan to breed your egg eaters? I'm thinking of getting one but would prefer a captive bred over wild caught as most are on the market. How did you obtain yours and were they wild caught?

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Sticky Feets Yes I actually have 6 eggs in the incubator right now! I couldn't believe it because I didn't think the male was big enough to breed, but he proved me wrong LOL. If all goes well they'll hatch in July. My big female came from a rescue (I'm assuming she was wild caught because very few people breed them), and my other two came from a large reptile show in Chicago and are also wild caught unfortunately. But my goal is to start offering a captive-bred alternative to people so fewer are taken from the wild.

[@StickyFeets]

If all goes well I would love to get one from you! I feel like there should be enough caught already in the US to captive breed them by now. Please let me know, I'm very interested

My mom is terrified of snakes in particular and reptiles in general. But she also doesn't like rodents, even rabbits, and thinks fish and birds are too messy. She is also allergic to cats even though she loves them. So when we were growing up my brothers and I just had dogs. Now that I live with my wife on our own we have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 canaries, 5 finches and a bearded dragon. So my mom just doesn't visit the dragon. My wife and I are both allergic to the cats as well but we just take allergy pills everyday. My mom loves our cats but doesn't visit much because of her allergy to them lol. She was right about the birds being messy though.

Quick question...of course all animals eat their young in times of need or when there's simply too many, but do egg-eating snakes eat their eggs just..randomly? (Or are they live-bearers and I'm just ignorant? Lmao)

[@SnakeDiscovery]

+Ferretpaus Egg-eaters only eat bird eggs, as they need a hard shell to crack with their vertebrae. So all reptile eggs are off limits, including their own. I've heard rumors about them eating lizard eggs, but nothing officially documented and it doesn't make sense for them to be able to eat those anyway, so I'm skeptical about those reports.

I don't want anything with teeth, docile or not. That's something i feel i really would need to work my way up to. Never having kept a reptile before and always being generally scared of them has stopped me. So something which takes little to maintain ( i live a busy life ) and can't sink it's teeth into my skin & as a bonus also doesn't eat rodents?! Sounds pretty perfect.

Michael Cota, researcher, says, “Appears that it might be an evolutionary link on the way to being venomous, since it is the only snake that I can think of that has “fangs” (enlarged pair of teeth), but no venom delivery system or ducts to the teeth. They are not dangerous, but will give you quite a bloody bite that takes a long time to heal. What makes them so difficult is that their head is not distinct; therefore, it is extremely difficult to grab behind the head and keep proper control of it. It maneuvers it head around on your grip and then uses teeth to bite - slash."_ _You’ll need a tetatus shot if you are bitten, as with all snakes as a precaution._

[@jasminezhao3512]

my mom won't let me buy a snake because she thinks tehy stink. I told her that snakes' FOOD, MICE, are stinky, not the SNAKE, and she said instead, "You know what, stop begging. You are getting a lizard, and NOT a snake." it has been months since she said that and we still can't buy a lizard because of covid :(

I have a question. I'm interested in getting one of these snakes, but i've struggled with something. How often to you keep the eggs in the enclosure? When do I feed them? Is it constant?

[@propyro85]

I was really hoping that these guys would be big enough to feed small chicken eggs to. I'd love to have a snake, my girlfriend is very much against the idea of having dead mice/rats in the freezer. I'm still very much liking these guys.

I was wondering how you go about practically feeding them quail eggs, I'm hoping to get a female old enough to eat coturnix quail eggs so that I'd have easier and more reliable access to her food. From what I've read they eat an appropriately sized egg about every 14 days give or take, so do you buy just what you need for each feeding session? Like 4 eggs just so they have some options but only 1 egg is actually eaten and the rest thrown out eventually? Or do you buy more eggs at a time and just keep them refrigerated until its time to feed? For the 14 days between feeding sessions would your other eggs freshness be compromised? I really want to hammer out a routine for acquiring eggs in time for feeding while also wasting as little as possible. If that means more frequent trips to the store for eggs I'm fine with that of course.

When someone else looks something up: 1. Jacket should be worn during the winter time 2. Jacket keeps you warm for temperatures as low as 0° C When I look something up: 1. Make sure the tank is warm as these animals prefer hotter environment 2. Put the temperature at -2°C

[@sherrygorse9568]

I just read the title as snake-eating eggs. I should go to bed now.

[@baker_farm]

Do you keep eggs in there enclosure at all times? I just don’t know and I really want one but I just don’t know when to feed them or if you put eggs it there enclosure at all times.

[@MyDuckSaysFucc]

I'm just the opposite, I've got several button quail that lay non stop to the point where I don't know what to do with all the eggs. I've always loved snakes, but have never had them as pets because I don't like the idea of feeding them live mice (especially pinkies, I can't kill babies). Little did I know, there's a kind of snake that only eats eggs! And button quail eggs no less! You should get some button quail to lay for your snakes. If your interested, they can be difficult to keep, but in my experience a cage with a foam padded lid works well, especially if you get ones that have not been handled. When I was researching quail I didn't see enough sources out there telling me to do this. If you don't there is a risk (even with tame quail) that they will jump and hurt themselves. That's the only real issue I think with quail keeping. Besides them escaping sometimes.

I really want one, these are soo cool.
