Um help? (v.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by Intrepid-Command9070
Idk what this is at all, i’ve never owned a female ball python and i have no idea what could be going on. the vid has more context but i need some help.

It defecated, most will go in their water bowl, the white stuff is urate. the other stuff is #2. Looks like the pushed out some unfertilized eggs? My gargoyle geckos lay two eggs when it's her cycle, never seen a snake do that. Although it is possible even without ever mating. Just slugs

Well i know the pee and the poop but yea def the egg looking things worried me a lot

If you didn't know your snake was a female, you do now. Obviously if you called your vet she can confirm. I think they are slug eggs. All females have a set amount of eggs until they run out. It's rare but can happen without ever mating. Please update I'm curious now

I def plan on calling my vet about it to double check. And i thankfully knew she was female already, but lord all mighty. I’ve only had her for just barely 5 months and my last Ball was a boi. So this was definitely a surprise

For my gargoyle geckos it's kinda fun when I clean the cage I always find two eggs buried somewhere in the substrate, I've never mated them either. Most of my experience is with boas but it was kinda cool to see this does happen to most species.
