Ooooh! Those do look like the same thing. So weird because this snake probes male on both sides, and does male courting behavior and has locked up with a female. It would floor me if he's a girl. I am giving serious consideration to hermaphrodite. I'm the the phone now trying to get an appt with the vet.Originally Posted by RichsBallPythons
Ive seen this 3 times now. 2 with corn snakes and one with ball python.
Its a female that has gone through menstrual cycle and laid slug. Should be more coming out soon unless shes smaller. its not uncommon for sexually mature females to do this especially colubrids.
Picture curtosy of janet aka Edfspythons.
There are things called hydatid cysts in the life cycle of a few species of tape worm that look EXACTLY like this thing too. I'd take a hermaphroditic python over worms any day
I was freaking out a bit last night researching parasites, but the photo you've provided sure seems applicable. Thanks!
