New egg-eater

[Gocntry]

It does seem like a long time but this is how these animals evolved. Think about the seasonal cycle where they live; in spring all the birds are roosting/nesting, by late spring/early summer they are laying their eggs and by the end of summer the chicks will have hatched and by autumn/winter there are no eggs. So the snakes are conditioned to glut in the time of plenty and then live off their reserves during the time of famine.

So True, That's the "outside the box" thinking I need to learn to do more of!!

Thanks for all the info!
