Good morning, all!
My name is Bri and I am in search of an egg eating snake to add to our family. A family member of ours raises both finches and quail so we will have plenty of access to their meals. However, I have come up empty when it comes to finding an actual snake. I have looked on both Google and FaceBook. The only websites I am able to find them on are Underground Reptiles and Backwater Reptiles. I am most definitely uncomfortable with ordering from either of these sites as I have heard horror stories. I would prefer to buy one from a breeder that I know handles their snakes and makes sure they're in good health.
We currently have two dogs, three cats, two guinea pigs and three rats.
My brothers had ball pythons when I was younger, but I have never actually owned a reptile of any kind! Our rats are pets so when we decided we wanted a reptile, we wanted to make sure that its diet would not include pinkies of any sort. While we think an egg eating snake would be ideal for our situation, I am definitely open for other suggestions. We would like something that eats either eggs or insects, has a decent life span (4-6 years), and doesn't mind being held. We are beginners so something easy too!
I look forward to learning more about reptiles and getting to know you guys!
