    No one can answer if a boa (specifically anaconda) can produce infertal egg sacks without a male? I ask be she's still nice and fat in her lower area and I just caught her wrapped around her water dish kind of laying sideways.

    I'm not to sure about that. I'd say yes, but it's unlikely. I know egg layers duo sometimes and seeing as boas incubate the eggs inside of them(so technically there are still eggs) I'd imagine it's very much possible. So it turned out it wasn't poop?

    Yes it is possible, it's happened to me. It's not common, I think it's more likely that follicles are resorbed in the absence of sperm but it is possible

    OK, so if that is whats going on, she could reabsorb them instead of them coming out?

    Depending on the size she could still reabsorb them but if they're too big she'll just lay slugs.
