Need Serious Opinions on STRANGE "object" that my male ball python "passed"

[1stpalindrone]

Im currently at work, and literally stopped on what Im doin just to read the entire thread! The suspense is killing me. I love how the turn of events on this thread went thru. From a male bp to a suspected female, to tape worm cyst, to the vet results, and to the owner of the dazzling nails.

DITTO!!!! I just had to subscribe.. What a crazy turn of events.. I hope we are all amazed at the findings from the lab

I hope the bp is gonna be alright, he/she sure looks purty

11:04 wednesday night. And I'm sitting at my incredibly DEAD work. I just found this and I'm enthralled. I want to know too! What the heck was the thing? Weird I've never seen anything like that. It def looks like some weird premature egg. This is going to probably sound really stupid but I was also thinking what if it is a parasitic twin? Maybe it was much smaller when he was a baby and grew with age and then detached itself with the last meal. I don't even know if that's possible with these guys but twins are so why not parasitic twins. And sometimes the impossible is just possible. I'm glad he's ok. This has been quite the interesting story. I want to know what the lab says!

I really hope the lack of any news doesn't mean something is wrong... Hopefully the OP's just busy...

Im with all of you....very interested in finding out what this is.

Me too, this will be interesting

or egg structure! Results came back as cystic fluid (not tape worm cyst, tissue cyst). So, it does not look like he's also a girl. If there are further tests that are not invasive to the animal that can be run they will be.

Sorry about the lateness of this reply...got the results just before going in to teach class.

Thanks for everyone's comments, opinions and well wishes!

Well, it's good that he's ok. It's probably just one of those freak things that will never happen again and won't bother him at all. Thanks for the update

Strange. So this means he's ok, right? I wonder what would cause a cyst?
