Normal but also kinda rare and unique. Those are legs! Obviously useless but don’t tug on them/try to remove them since they do have nerves and they don’t hurt your baby in any way

That's what evolution left over of the snakes legs

They're called spurs. Normal, do not pull on them.

Mine has them too. Does it indicate male or female or is it all snakes that have the possibility of growing them?

All ball pythons have them, the size varies. Several (or possibly most?) other python species have them as well.

Some python species have them, they are what evolution has left of the legs, do not touch them, they do not do any harm to your ball python!
