There is another species of specialized egg-eating snake in India, Bangladesh and Nepal called the Indian Egg-eating Snake (Elachistodon westermanni). I believe they are fairly rare and aren't available in captivity as far as I know.
BTW - there are 5 species of Dasypeltis in Africa although I have only ever seen scabra and inornata on captive lists. The species are
D. atra
D. fasciata
D. inornata
D. medici
D. scabra
(my source)
I have always wondered if you couldn't raise Zebra Finches as a source of eggs for small egg-eater. They breed like flies and lay hordes of eggs with no special care by the keeper.
