Anyone ever cooked an infertile egg?

[FrankTheTank]

I'm pretty sure I've seen it mentioned here before but it was all talk. No one I saw had admitted to doing it. So if you have...please share. What was it like? If my ambilobe turns out to be female! I promise on here to cook up her first infertile clutch and post pictures Scrambled of course

I can't believe no one has owned up to this....shame chameleon world....shame

gross! lol never even thought of that... whose gonna do it first?

I did this with a clutch of infertile snake eggs.

I'm not a particularly good cook-they turned out pretty unsavory...but I think they could be made passable.

Note that seaturtle and other turtle eggs are quite highly prized-but the yolk/white is a different composition allowing it to be made into flour in latin american recipes. I fried and hardboiled the eggs. The hardboiled ones had a very powdery texture to them. They did not have much flavor.

That's the only way I keep my bodybuilding diet on point, chameleon eggs! Full of protein and amino acids vital for muscle growth! Great for breakfast and a great pre workout snack!
Lol no I just use chicken eggs for that but I'm curious to know what that would taste like, as taboo as it sounds. I would be worried about other parasites/bacteria that the eggs may contain. Although cooking should eliminate this threat I still would be cautious.

I don't think it's a bad idea. It's not cruel; They're infertile!

Someone tell me how they taste

And how about give them to the dog? Eggs (chicken eggs) are healthy for dogs. But should they be boiled then?

WHAT THE WHAT???

I am curious now.......lol

I've fed infertile eggs to a savannah monitor before, he found them delicious!

We are one big bunch of weirdos here.

lol someones gotta do it first, next one with eggs! and pics or it didn't happen Jesus i hope my female doesn't lay eggs soon.

I promise to you all (and I never break a promise), if my panther turns out to be female, as stated before I will cook her first infertile clutch (which it definitely will be bc I don't have any other chams and don't plan on breeding her anytime soon). I will take a video of the entire production and post to youtube, and you all will be the first to know! (well besides the youtube world who might see it a little sooner)

I'm kind of looking forward to it! Call me crazy

ew... think about it .. ******* gross

Why would it be more gross than eating a chicken or quail egg?

Why would it be more gross than eating a chicken or quail egg?

Would the fact that they're laid in dirt make a difference? Can anything breach the outer membrane and leach into the egg, effecting it's taste?

Using them in homemade dog/cat food might actually be a good idea. Female chams go through a lot to make those eggs, so if you can find a use for them, then they, and their efforts, don't go to waste.

 

[Deevo]

My rational is that chickens eat grains and grasses while chameleons eat crickets, cockroaches and worms... I can't imagine what makes up the egg to be very nutritious or tasty lol. Also lets be honest there is a risk of passing some kind of disease

 

[FrankTheTank]

The only thing I am worried about is getting disease and parasites. I wouldn't be so concerned with the taste or what it eats

 

[ataraxia]

A little cheese, ham, green onion...hmmm sounds pretty......................gross honestly

I know i am out in left ball field doing circles, slobbering on myself but there is no way i am eating an egg from a lizard.
EDIT: Money talks though!

Aren't chicken relatives to dinosaurs though? So technically you are still eating mr T. Rex cousins eggs.
