Ova – Black Tail Cribo

Ova is a fascinating Common Egg-Eater, a species renowned in the reptile world for being entirely harmless and incredibly easy to care for. Unlike most snakes, Ova has no teeth and a diet consisting exclusively of eggs, making her the perfect choice for keepers who prefer not to handle rodents.

Why Ova is a Standout Choice:

• Toothless & Docile: Egg-eaters are non-venomous and lack traditional teeth, meaning they pose zero bite risk. They are famously calm and gentle during handling.

• Unique Dietary Habit: Ova feeds strictly on bird eggs (such as finch or quail eggs). Watching her unique feeding process is one of the most remarkable experiences in herpetology.

• Compact & Manageable: This species remains relatively slender and stays at a manageable size, making her ideal for beautiful, naturalistic terrarium setups.

• Fascinating Defense Displays: When startled, they perform a “saw-scaling” behavior, rubbing their scales together to create a hushed hissing sound—a brilliant natural marvel to observe.

• Express Pet Mart Health Guarantee: Ova is active, healthy, and has been verified to be feeding well. She comes with our standard health protection for your peace of mind.
