Although completely harmless, people often get a fright and kill them due to their defensive posturing. In fact, they have no teeth and are completely harmless snakes.Mainly nocturnal, Egg-Eaters feed exclusively on birds' eggs. They have sharp protrusions on the inside of their spine that they use to crack an egg open after they've swallowed it, then they spit the shell back out. Oviparous, they lay 6-25 eggs in summer. --Help us keep our community and wildlife safe!For as little as R14 a month (that's less than the cost of a cup of coffee) you can help us do what we do and get some awesome perks - more info here:http://bit.ly/bsr-donation
