i have an adult male ball python. not sure of his age, but i was told by the pet store they "think" he is about 3. i know that he is a male, he has mated with my female and i have seen his ahem..."organ." he used to have large anal spurs...but tonight i was looking at his junk and they are just gone. there are 2 holes where they were. they are shallow holes, and it isnt by any means an open wound. it seems to be all healed up and my snake is behaving normally and seems to be in perfectly good health. whats up with that???

*before responding...yes, my snakes are VERY well taken care of. he is a big healthy boy that lives in about 800 dollars worth of luxury, and gets regular soaks in a very large bath tub. not neglected, so please dont criticize...just offer some help. thanks!
