: hmm... my mom asked me a few times about feeding my ratsnake eggs. how does this work? does it have the spiked vertebrae like an african egg-eating snake?

No spiked vertebrae. Just strong neck muscles that contract and collapse the shell.

: also, what kinds of eggs are good to feed and where can you get them?

Depending on the size of the snake, zebra finch eggs, quail eggs, pigeon eggs, ringneck dove eggs, bantam chicken eggs, etc. Find a store that sells grain and poultry supplies; they can probably give you some leads, especially if they have a for sale or trade bulletin board.
