Eating eggs?

Crowgirl

Occasional Questioner
So I am on another forum right now, having a discussion with a girl who feeds her cornsnake eggs? I personally am going to stick with f/t mice.. but I just wanted to know if eggs are healthy for cornsnakes... First thing that comes to my mind is that any regular store bought egg would be too big for a cornsnake.. but maybe she has smaller eggs?
 
Some people do tube-feed non-feeders egg yolk to try and get them started if they're having a hard time. I've heard of it being done with older snakes, but it's not really something I would do.
 
when one of my snakes was acting stupid and decided she didnt want to eat f/t hoppers for a while - i put in a dove egg - just to see what would happen, an hour or so later i dicovered that the egg was gone - so either it hatced and flew away or she ate it - that said, i'm glad she's eating f/t hoppers again (maybe the egg jump started her appetitie again)
 
I haven't heard of the feeding egg yolk thing.. but from what I gathered from this girl, she was feeding her corn exclusively eggs and from the pictures of the corn, it looked to be at least a couple years old.. I guess I just couldn't get over the difference in size of eggs and mice..
