hey - nothing wrong with allowing for possibility
after all, the duck-billed platypus turned out to be real, and I wasn't entirely certain of that until my mid-thirties
actually - I still haven't seen a live one, so I'm still allowing for that to be a joke

If I were to feed a whole egg, shell and all. I think I would put a few cracks in the shell.
When I was reading the nutritional info. on eggs I saw that raw egg white has a lot of sodium. It looks like the cooking process reduces that greatly.

People were right to be skeptical of the platypus, it was unlike anything ever seen.

apparently at the time people were way less skeptical in general, and there were many fantastic creatures the existence of which was not questioned
come to think of it - those people still exist

Yeah. They are called Americans. If it's on the news, it must be true. If CNN says there is a one eyed, one armed flying purple people eater, they'll believe it to be fact if it's repeated enough. But anyway, I'll take it that the egg eating garter is a myth. Didn't sound quite right to me to begin with. Still, I'll stick (like an egg to a bare aluminum pan) with my opinion that egg whites should be cooked slightly so they have some coherence, then mixed with some other "normal" foods, but without shells. I don't see feeding egg whites as being all that necessary though, given the multitude of other high protein foods garters will eat.

I've decided to add cooked egg white to 3 groups of babies. I mixed it in with cut-up night crawlers.
This little one seemed to enjoy it. I did notice that at the end of a fed some of the egg was left on the plate, even though it was covered with worm scent(fluid, blood). They had picked through the remaining mixture and removed all the worm pieces. I would say that at least 90% of the egg was eaten.

Cool. The way you did it is exactly what I had in mind. That should be good for the little guys. I would think that it probably wouldn't hurt to occasionally give the yolk to gravid females too.

Excellent results much much better than mine.... I gave them the full egg with the shell (cracked and painted with egg's white) but I think they made jokes of me and played with the eggs rather than eating them
