Dasypeltis
Dasypeltis is a genus of colubrid snakes. It is one of only two taxonomic groups of snakes known to have adapted to feed exclusively on eggs (the other being the genus Elachistodon). They are non- venomous and found throughout the continent of Africa, primarily in forested or wooded habitats that are also home to numerous species of birds.
