    Female ball just dropped 3 "slugs"

    So my normal female has been on baytril for the past month. She has recently been switched over to ceftazidime. Two weeks ago the lower half of her body started to swell. Last week she went into shed and was extremely inflated:





    and today she passed these:



    And no there not urates atleat i think? highly doubt it lol she still has 2 more of them in her. You can kind of see in the pic the developing egg shell and the middle that looks yellow in the picture the yolk "i broke the one in the back in half". So i think, these would be my first "eggs" yippee!! jk Did baytril make these eggs infertal? I paired her with a mojave in january also recieved both of them in january so not sure if she was bred previously and i never saw a lock... And yeah i did pair them in there qt kicking me in the ass now that they both have ri's..... Idiot lesson learned. What do you guys think?

    Wow... I've never heard or seen anything quite like that. I would have figured they were urates. I would have a vet check them out for sure.

    Are they hard or chalky? They look exactly like great big urates, to me.

    Your snake certainly does look big in the back end, though.

    Gotta be. I've seen my share of slugs and none ever looked like that. Urates look like that, though. OP, are you 100% sure they aren't urates? I'm pretty convinced they are. Maybe she was backed up.

    Here's a pic I found of 2 slugs and a 'boob' egg:

    Slugs will be rubbery and squishy, by the way. Snake eggs are soft and leathery.

    Also, snakes often 'hold it' when in shed, and then let go of all the stored feces and urates immediately after they shed their skin. (Sometimes into the shed skin, lol).

    lol maybe they are dont look like any urates ive seen though? Probably just backed up... feel like noob haha They are all very similar in size and shape though hmm? Also was the shed just coincidence? I have no experience in breeding though next year is going to be my first year breeding. appreciate the input so far!

    I guess this is more of a question but when you palpate those hard masses im pretty sure follicles when there "building" before the ovulate could they possibly be those. I could be and probably completely wrong.
