The Oligodon genus doesn't swallow eggs whole then spit out the shells even the wild

Only the african genus Dasypeltis does that. Oligodons will forcibly open an egg with a slit via their teeth or their pointed tails. Oligodons also prefer reptile eggs particularly sea turtles and crocodile eggs to devour since reptile eggshells are not as hard as a bird egg whereas the Dasypeltis group eats almost exclusively, birds' eggs.
