OMG why doesn't it just break the shell and suck out the insides? It would be much easier, wouldn't it?

it does it has a bone in it's vertebra that cracks open teh shell then it twists it's body and the body takes in the egg liquids and then it spits the shell out

Guess snakes have to eat too and the chicken did leave them as pretty easy targets......and that would absolutely freak me out to see!!!
