are egg eating snakes good for beginners?

Answer 1

No, no, and no. First of all, you have morons tell you to hard boil eggs. That's nonsense. And most egg-eaters come from very specialized climates so their husbandry is a bit harder to create. If were you, start with a corn or king, not an eggeater. Only after owning an easier snake can you move up to Burms or carpet pythons. Don't even think about a Gaboon's or a monocle!

Answer 2

egg eaters are not a good beginner snake, go for a corn snake, i have to disagree with Colin though, ball/royal pythons don't get big, they are one of the smallest python species there is, they only reach 4-5 feet long, females are bigger, but can get quite a girth in relation to there length.
Corns only get to about 5 foot long and are a slender snake, they are alot easier to care for and will tolerate incorrect conditions better than most other snakes, however they will still need basic requirements of correct temperature and environment.

Answer 3

i would say got with a corn snake no snake is easy to look after a first but b4 you get a corn do as much re search as u can and after that do even more snakes make amazing pets but you relay need to get all the info b4 you think of gettingg one, and also have the cash ready not for the snake but for ,,

tank
heat mat/heat lamp
hides
bedding
water dish
food
fake plants
light if you want 1 but not needed
thermometer
Hygrometer=Measures humidity levels

try to stay away from heat rocks there is a big chance of your snake gettin burnt

also stay away from cinder and pine wood that's a big NO!

and then get your snake and once you got your set up and snake more re search

there are lots of sites out there that will give you all the info you will need to keep a happy and healthy snake,join a reptile forum always good to get an answer to a question in the same day.

hope that helped also have a look at my web site www.cornsnakecrazy.co.uk there is a care sheet on there that will help lots.

corn snake crazy

Answer 4

if it's your first reptile, i would not advise this. the easiest snakes to take care of are ball pythons, but they grow so big! snakes are VERY high matenanced! you have to read a lot of sources about snakes, buy books for specific species, do research online, however, online informantion often differs. one of the easier snakes to take care of are the corn snakes and childrens python (besides ball pythons).

on the other hand, if you really want to get an egg eating snake, you should get it. snakes live long and require a lot of attention, so make sure you know what you're doing.

Answer 5

I wouldn't think so. Eggs can be tricky to get the way the snake likes them. Good beginner snakes are ball pythons and rat snakes such as the corn or black rat.

Answer 6

Get a corn snake or even a ball but egg are kinda hard for starters

Answer 7

No. Corn snakes are great for beginners.

Answer 8

They can eat regular chicken eggs but only once a month, the rest of the time they should be fed on pinkies. 1 egg a week isn't enough and in the wild they will eat more rodents than eggs

Answer 9

The only snake I would recommend for beginners are corn snakes. They are really friendly, don't bite and they eat rats, that simple and easy. Then you should move on to the ones with slightly different dietary needs.

P.s, I wouldn't go with what colin has said!

Answer 10

A good snake for begginers is a corn snake they are simple to care for and make very good pets. They are also easy to handle.
