    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....

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. :uhh: 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!
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.

If you look at the classified section of this forum, you do see the genus Dasypeltis for sale, from time to time. I can post, some of the specimens for sale, if you want.

As for as species that eat insects, that encompasses many species. If you want a snake that eats insects, then, you will have far less choices.

Again, welcome to the forum.
