I have a male and female Muscovy duck. The female had 17 eggs and she has been sitting on them for about 3-4 weeks. I recently went out to their pen and found a hollow duck egg but also noticed about a 9ft carpet python snake skin. Each night since then there has been one egg each morning that is cracked open and eaten.
I have been suspecting that the snake keeps getting in the pen and night or early morning however, I have patched all the holes where he could be getting in.
I have noticed that since patching any holes the ?snake? Has been only half eating the eggs and then leaving. Because there is no way I can think this snake is getting in, I’m starting to think that my drake has started to take the eggs from the nest.
Any thoughts?
