No. If you tried to eat one....... Ouch.
What happens is... The snake swallows the egg whole and, as it passes down towards the stomach, there are sharp spines protruding into the snakes body which slit the egg open as it passes over them. The contents of the egg go down to the stomach and the snake regurgitates the unwanted shell.
the ones that eat egss of course

The cost of an egg-eating snake can vary depending on the species and where you buy it from. On average, prices range from $50 to $200. It's important to also consider ongoing costs such as housing, food, and veterinary care.
The animal that primarily eats eggs is the egg-eating snake, specifically from the genus Dasypeltis. These snakes have specialized adaptations that allow them to consume eggs whole, including a flexible jaw and the ability to digest the egg's shell. Other animals that predominantly eat eggs include certain birds, such as the cassowary, and some species of reptiles and mammals, like the echidna. However, the egg-eating snake is particularly notable for its exclusive diet of eggs.
no. snakes need vitamins and minerals that are provided in mice, rodents, rabbits etc. the only exception is the egg eating snake.
Nothing !... Egg-eating snakes are not venomous so - if you're bitten by one, simply clean the bite area with antiseptic, and cover with a plaster or bandage.
The tried and true method is to hold the egg up in front of a bright light; a chick inside would appear as a dark spot inside the egg. Otherwise, by looking at it, you cannot tell. If you weighed it over time, the egg would become lighter if a chick were developing inside it.
Yes, There AreAlmost all snakes eat meat. Vegetarian snakes are an interesting concept, but they don't exist. Snakes catch their prey live; in captivity it is only with difficulty that they can be induced to eat already-killed creatures.There are some snakes that don't eat meat, such as the egg-eating snake species of Africa and India (Genus- Dasypeltis) that feed exclusively on eggs.But, there are no herbivorous snakes, meaning there are no snakes that can feed and live off of plant matter.
