    I'm not very sure about unfertilized eggs one way or the other. However, parthenogenisis does apparently happen in BPs. There definitely are some very well documented cases of it happening in komodo dragons and I believe a few other reptiles in zoos.

    Here is a thread that was on this forum about a female that apparently parthenogenisized (what would be the proper word?) some eggs. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=49600

    In any event, BPs don't lay eggs on a nearly every day basis like chickens do. The rare occasion when a female that has not been with a male will produce eggs is hardly enough to "get annoying". Even if it happened once a year, which is the most you can hope for with a female you are trying to breed, I wouldn't consider that a big enough factor to be concerned about.

    I get my frozen food at The Mouse Factory and appreciate the quality of their product. You might want to check them out, along with others. :)
