*Common Egg-Eater (Dasypeltis scabra) - harmless.*

I picked up this little guy from Barlinka Rd in Table View earlier today.

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.

Handling snakes the way you see it done on TV can be a very, very bad idea.

Remember, TV shows (even "Reality TV") are dramatized to make them seem more exciting.

The real experts often don't agree with the techniques people use on TV.
