I know you and others have checked this snake, but I'd bet a dollar to a dounut that these are unfertillized eggs.

I can't see where these could be anything but eggs.

I have heard where females can produce fertilized eggs without the need of a male snake, where the offspring are actually clones of the female (mother), all offspring are female and have the ability to lay fertilized eggs without the use of a male snake.

But I've never heard of male snakes laying any type of eggs.

I don't know, maybe get in touch with Brian or any big time breeder and see if they can help you.

Good Luck!

If so, that leads to my next question...

You said the snake is a proven breeder, did you put him with female and observe the coupling (his tail under hers and hemis inserted), or did someone simply tell you that the snake is a proven breeder?

Have you probed the snake yourself?
You are correct to assume that the snake is alone in the tub. He has not locked for me, in fact shown no interest in the girl he has been paired with. The breeder I did get him from says he has used him before. No I have not probed the snake myself but then again I do not know how to probe. I have a friend who is currently out of town that can do it for me.
