Can Ball pythons eat eggs

Answer 1

Actually they can! They are able to because they are land and water animals. Though humans arent used to catching fish so easy the pythons can do it in a flash!!!! The use their tounges to wrap the fish. Then they suck the fish into their mothes, and swallow it. Although like humans and steak, it may take a number of daysbefore the fish digests in the snake

Edit:

A snake will not it's most important sensory organ (the tongue), by wrapping it around a squirming, spiky fish. Their teeth are recurved (curving backwards), which are effective at piercing through flesh, feathers and fur to prevent the escape of prey, and are equally effective with fish.

EDIT: I wouldn't recommend feeding fish to a Ball Python as they are not suited for such food in the wild. Just stick to mice.

Ball pythons do not eat fish in the wild. In the wild, they are strictly terrestrial or arboreal, and their diet consists of small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Although they can eat fish, it is not their natural diet and is not advised. Not to mention that feeding fish to any snake also requires you to look for thiaminase-free fish, as an overdose on thiaminase can block their production of thiamin and kill them.

Answer 2

Many snake species do eat eggs in the wild, and feeding your snake will probably not hurt it. However, if you are going to feed your python an egg make sure you warm it up to room temperature first. However, ball pythons do well on mice-only diets, and so offering it an egg is not necessary to a balanced diet. Feeding a pet snake a hard boiled egg can often produce some really entertaining results with smaller snakes, but I've watched a ball python going at one. Here's one of my favorite YouTube videos of a Western Hognose being fed a hard boiled egg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF5xt_V4Ge4

Answer 3

Yes, pythons can eat raw chicken just fine. If they are out in the wild, they will eat chicken so it is no different to feed them chicken that has been cleaned.

Answer 4

Ball pythons are not large enough to eat chickens and they may not be healthy for pythons. The normal animals that these snakes would eat is a small rat or two.

Answer 5

Pythons should not necessarily eat raw chicken. They should only be fed rats or mice, or even hamsters and gerbils.

Answer 6

Absolutely NOT ! raw chicken would never be part of their natural diet. They are rodent eaters.

Answer 7

NO they can't. Ball pythons TYPICALLY do not grow over 6 feet, and eat gerbils and African Soft Fur rats. Birds are not part of their diet.
