    Omg help! Eggs?
    I just picked up a normal female, supposed to be a virgin. She's around 600 grams, and while holding her tonight I found hard lumps near her vent area. When I hold her up, there's no apparent big bulge, but when she's curled up, her backend looks dimpled ;/

    I'm so confused! She was wrapping her waterbowl as well :(

    I hope it's not eggs. She's way too small :(

    I'm sure its just feces/urates. I wouldn't even think a 600 gram female would be sexually mature, unless she's been extremely under fed. But even then I don't think she would be healthy enough to reproduce.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I thought soaking wasn't a good idea?

    Soaking too often can stress the snake and cause difficulty when shedding.

    When the snake is in shed, their bodies are covered with a layer lf milky lube that helps loosen the skin. Soaking them will prevent the lube from performing it's duty.

    If I were as worried as you seem, I would give a nice warm soak to encourage her to poop. This practice is used for a lot of reptiles it seems lol. :gj:.
