They could also eat lizards, frogs, birds and other smaller snakes as well given the chance.
Normally you'll find that only wild-caught snakes and egg-eaters will only eat egg.

Although I do know of someone that has a vid of their Hoggie eating an egg, not very good though as there is nearly no nutrional value for them, in comparison to the amount they'd need to eat.
