I was just thinking about this and I don't ever remember seeing an answer to it. Have you ever gotten eggs from your ball pythons WITHOUT ever breeding them? I'm not talking about breeding and getting slugs, or about putting a male with them and just not witnessing any breeding behavior, I'm talking about getting a clutch of infertile eggs without ever even introducing a male.

I've had this happen several times to me with colubrids, even with colubrids that have NEVER been with a male since the day they hatched. But I can't think of a time that it's ever happened to me with ball pythons.

It's possible that it's never happened to me because I breed most of my adult girls every year at least once so it's no surprise when I get eggs, but the few that I hold back for that season for one reason or the other have never laid a surprise clutch of eggs for me and I was just wondering what everyone else's experiences were.
