    Is this what I think it is....

    Because if it is what I think it is, then that means my "female" Ball python is accually a "Male"!!!!

    Its this a sperm plug??? I have sexed "her" many times, and it always seems to be that she is a female, because nothing pops out!!!!

    You guys tell me!!! I know it is a horible picture, sorry!!

    If its not a sperm plug then what the heck is it!?!?

    Re: Is this what I think it is....

    i can't tell a whole lot from the picture but It doesn't look like a sperm plug. sperm plugs look like ear wax and there is usually a good chucnk of it. females will sometimes have "something" come out of their vent I think its just skin or something? but it looks like that.

    I know what it is. All of my snakes produce those.

    A snake goes number one in it's water and that is what you get. It's urates. You're safe.
