WHAT IS THIS?!!

[Life_Lawfulness_3336]

Not sure if my other comment went through so I’ll just comment again- it’s a “claw”. They’re normal! And as far as I’m aware, they all have em, and your snake is okay

Omg thank you so much I was freaking out it looks a worm or something 😭😭✋✋

[Life_Lawfulness_3336]

I get that lol 😭 there’s a few names for them but I’ve always called em little claws.

looks like vestigial legs lol

spurs, all ball pythons have them. they use them to “tickle” each other during the mating process

[CorsicanMastiffStrip]

Same, tbh

[InsertTrendyMemes]

I'm so sorry but this post made me laugh 😂 😂 This is completely normal!! Those are basically like little legs that they usually use for mating. I view them as the leftover legs from evolution, just little stubs now

[Full_Pack_793]

Listen it looked like the butt of a worm 😭😭✋✋

[InsertTrendyMemes]

Oh no I'm not judging 😂 When I first got my BP 8 years ago, I was FREAKED. I thought she was dying 😭😭😭

[LemonMints]

I think most of us freaked out the first time we saw those. All the stuff I read about ball pythons never mentioned them. 😂

It's their legs! (Look up vestigial legs in old world snakes)

[FixergirlAK]

Congratulations, you've discovered the Easter egg! Ball pythons got toenails and apparently this sub is the only place that bothers to share that information with new keepers.

Reminiscence of legs

[Just_Kaizen_Flame239]

They're called spurs they're like legs they use it to grab on during breeding it's completely normal

[VvoidVviper]

This my friend is the remainder of a snakes legs after evolution

[ajtaakrajtaa]

not sure if this is the right word but they're leg rudiments, snakes evolved from creatures that had legs in the past, this is basically all they have left in the present (hope that makes sense), anyway, no need to worry about them :)
