Hello. Someone tell me if you can incorporate into their diet eggs?
I give them small amounts of egg, since the size of an egg
chicken are not appropriate, I thought to cook.
There are contraindications?

I have many garter snakes, and never fed any of them egg.

I seem to recall that someone on this forum occasionally fed egg, but I can't find it using the search function

A few members use egg to get baby garters feeding in the beginning. I don't think it's used on a regular basis though.

Steve did it. It was really just an experiment in the winter to make the dwindling supply of night crawlers go a little farther. The whites were partially cooked scrambled and mixed with night crawlers. His radixes gobbled them up.

I don't think eggs should be given as a regular part of their diet. The yolks are too fatty and the whites contain quite a bit of sodium. Snakes that are not egg specialists shouldn't get all that fat and sodium as their bodies have not evolved to deal with it.

Do not give the egg regularly. I have given in small doses occasionally
have a rich and varied diet.
thanks for the clarification.

Fully cooked egg whites only.
