I don't want to. I was asked the question at work so I thought I'd see what others thought.
Quick question....... why would you want to ?????
Aussie Python aren't equipt to eat eggs. Wild pythons will occasionally swallow a chook egg due to the egg being warm and thinking it's a food item, but they are unable to digest so will regurgitate it within the next day or so.
Egg eaters have specialised boney protrusions within their necks to deal with the shell which once the contents are removed the shell is spat out.

Just wondering if anyone feeds their python eggs.
I fed one of my waters a chook egg once, He seemed very interested in it, but I did not see him eat it so I left it in his enclosure overnight and it was gone the next day. I ended up with broken egg shell in the enclosure, so they must regurge the shell instead of digesting it... But the end result stank so much, it was the first and last time I would consider feeding them.... However it answered that question for me....
What you should bear in mind is that if and when they do eat eggs in the wild they will more than likely be fertilised and contain a nice growing embryo at whatever stage of its development as opposed to just a yellow and white content that you will get down at the supermarket.
