AVOID that website :rolleyes:.

Well, to be fair there ARE egg eating snakes. However Ball Pythons are not one of them.

To be honest, I have no idea how you'd convince a ball to eat an egg, unless you fed the egg to a mouse first, then fed the mouse to the ball.

I have heard of people feeding their BP's eggs, but do not feed them chicken eggs (highly toxic) -- they can only eat eggs from mice or rats!


Wow -- X2 on the WTF comment!!

I have probley with them not eating live rodents let alone a inadiment object:D

:rofl: I was totally going to ask the same thing....

Sometimes, [sarcasm] tags really shouldn't even be needed.

Thanks All, what a hilarious thread. You can feed them mouse eggs, they just have to be inside a mouse!!!!

About as good for a ball python as the black sand substrate in your avatar pic

But the black looks really cool, and aspen doesn't come in black -- plus, it goes great with the skull!! How else would people know he is cool?!?! A snake and a skull -- that is the epitomy of cool!! :D

Later,

George

BTW -- In case anyone thought I was serious about mouse and rat eggs -- I was kidding. Everyone knows they aren't hatched; the stork brings them.

if someone bothers u ignore them this site really is great because even a noob like me gets great advice and no one gets annoyed no matter how many times i ask dumb questions

lol
over all with all the stuff you learn here your ball pythons will thank you!:gj:

No one was mean or rude. Everyone who made a joke did it in a nice way. No one bashed you. You learned in the funniest way possible that ball pythons dont eat eggs. So why take offence? If it was me who posted this question I would have laughed at the replys as long as no one called me an idiot for not knowing.

If you spend enough time in the forums you will start looking for ways to increase the humor too.

While no one may have meant to be rude, and were just having fun, try to put yourself in the OP's shoe's. He's new to the site, and everyone was having fun at his expense. You'd feel a little offended as well, even if those who were joking didn't mean to be mean, it still comes across as laughing at him.

While WE know that ball pythons are not egg eaters, someone who has just gotten their first snake and may have read about other species of snakes that ARE egg eaters may not realize that different species have different needs.

To the OP, I hope that you'll feel comfortable enough to continue to participate here and continue to learn. Feel free to PM a staff member (names in red or green) if you have a question but are a little gun shy right now to post it.

Welcome to the forum, sorry that this was your first experience with us.

:( Golly Robin. You even made me feel bad for my post now and I only commented the mouse eggs post..

See? We get put in our place here so no need to leave.

I'm sorry but mice and rats are mammals if you didn't know. They do not lay eggs.

To the OP: There are snakes called Egg Eaters and they do feast on bird eggs or any eggs they can get to. They will eat rodents from time to time, but they eat what they are called, hence the name Egg Eaters.

LOL - sorry - didn't mean to make you feel bad. Just trying to get folks to see things from the OP's point of view. You're the "new kid" on the block, and the "seasoned kids" start to laugh and cut up about the question. I can completely get where he's coming from. :)

I maybe saw one constructive post in the first two pages of this thread, and most of them were hard to read too, grammar-wise.
I've noticed time and time again that members are often rude to new members when they seem to ask a 'stupid question' or have some things they need to fix. Well, play or not, it's not a good first experience to be made fun of on a forum when we could have helped him out extensively with his husbandry (the sand part is a good indicator more could be wrong too).

Grow some maturity next time.

To the OP, as you now know, Ball Pythons are not egg eaters. Besides that though, there are a few other things I am slightly worried about by your enclosure in the your profile picture.
Black sand, which I'm guessing is repti-sand is dangerous for your ball python and should be replaced immediately with aspen, cypress mulch, or paper-towels.
A more permanent water bowl that they can't easily knock over may be useful too.
Though the skull is a good decoration, do you have any snake-specific hides for your ball python? Ball pythons are very shy and need dark tight hides on both sides of the cage.
Your snake also looks a bit thin. Is he eating a nicely sized meal for you once a week? Is the prey item about as big as he is thick at his largest point?

Also, how are you heating the enclosure, measuring humidity, and measuring temperatures?

I hope we can improve your experience here, and improve your animal's quality of life as well. :gj:

please come back, there is so much for you to learn! :)

I see the point of the original OP. I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcome. In all honestly though, I didn't really think it was a serious question -- I thought you were just trying to stir things up.

Don't be afraid to ask questions --

So no, mice and rats don't lay eggs, and bp's don't eat eggs. It's a good idea just to stick with mice and rats as food items.

And as someone mentioned, if you are using calci-sand as a substrate, that is probably a bad idea. Cypress, aspen, and newspaper are good choices.

Peace!

-- George

I'm not sure that's sand in the enclosure - it looks like a towel to me. But I could be wrong.

Back to biology class for you missy. :rofl:

It's possible for animals to have eggs but not to lay eggs. :P

I daresay we have fed our snakes more mouse eggs than we can easily count over the years. :rofl:
