So I was explaining to my boyfriend about how someone suggested a trick to maybe entice my picky ball python to eat , who has been off feed since I bought him three weeks ago.

I was given the advice to try offering the snake a thawed warm mouse dipped in raw egg yolk.
The people who gave me the advice suggeste it when I asked for a little help on getting him to eat.

They had troublesome eaters who had denied good, or shown little interest. But when presented the egg-yolk mouse, their snakes didn't hesitate to quickly snatch it up and regain a normal eating habit afterwords.

so here's the thing.
My boyfriend is curious if snakes an eat scrambled eggs? He wants to know because pictures a snake viciously strike, an snatch up a chunk of unseasoned scrambled egg would be adorable.


it would look cute, just as much as a snake eating cake.
But as a
ball python owner who knows better, I would never actually try to feed my snakes cooked things.

so help with an answer to my boyfriends stupid question, of why they can't eat cooked things.
Even if it would be sure to watch.
