    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I read a care sheet that said you could add variety to the diet of a gopher snake by feeding it quaill eggs. Is this true and if so what size should they be to eat them?
 
I found out that this is right and I know there is a guy at the taylor show who sells them they were 10 for 2 dollars. I just need to know what size they need to be but thanks.
 
have been intersted in trying egg or chicks for occasional variety. Does the vendor in Taylor sell at every show? Don't remember seeing eggs there before.
 
Thanks, I was just curious. Not worth the extra hassle over a few bucks :) Think I'll try the All Ohio show 6/18 and the next Taylor show on 7/9. I know Rodent Pro does the All Ohio show and usually has chicks. Haven't been to a show in a while anyway.
 
Find a local breeder..

There are lots of folks breeding quail these days, so finding a local breeder shouldn't pose a problem. Try checking the livestock / poultry section within your local classifieds, asking a farm supply store or farmer’s cooperative. Heck, you can even find them on eBay!
Most Pituophis spp. will accept eggs readily, just make certain the eggs aren't too large and don't panic when they regurgitate the shell as this is normal.
Also, quail and quail chicks make great supplements to an otherwise all rodent diet, but be prepared for a fun day of enclosure maintenance a few days after feeding such items, as feeding your snakes fowl and eggs can prove to be, well, foul!

Good luck,

Jeff
