Not much to report today....
The cytology results of the fluid that was taken from the "object" will not be in until Tuesday or Wednesday from the lab...I forgot those take a few days
The x-rays did not show any more of these in the animal, in the ovary or oviduct regions.
Fecal was negative for worms.
As soon as I get word from the vet about the cytology I'll post the results. Sorry to keep you all hanging

Re: Need Serious Opinions on STRANGE "object" that my male ball python "passed"
Maybe this snake is a hermaphrodite and can explain the ball python that laid eggs without copulation. I was very skeptical thinking it was simply a female until I saw the picture of the hemipene. No other follicles also makes me curious. Very interesting.

What Monica said????
I was too thinking it was a female....but that certainly was a hemipene!
Cannot wait to find out!!!!

Im going out on a limb and am going to say that its still a female in my opinion.
Ive got some female Bloods who have hemipenal like off-shoots that would make you think male that look just like the popping pictures here in this thread.

No, we were looking in the region of the animal where those things would be for anything abnormal (ex. we weren't concerned about the lungs, esophagus, etc. in the x-ray). The snake appears to be healthy. Didn't see anything that might indicate that there may be more things he has to pass. I wan't this done because a few people on here indicated that if these are ufert. eggs, then they would be harder to pass than regular eggs and becoming egg-bound may be a problem.
We didn't see ovaries and oviducts, we were just concerned about that region of the film. Also, didn't see any abnormal growths, such as tumors in the snake.

Still waiting on the lab results. I've also contacted the Barker's at VPI to see what their take on it is.
I'm dying to get the lab results back. I go back to teaching today, so hopefully that will help keep my mind off of it.

Just to clarify for everyone- we did not see any ovaries or oviducts. I was referring to looking in that part of the snake (were they would be) on the x-ray for any abnormalities. Sorry if I confused anyone, I was in a hurry when I wrote this and I can see where I may have been misleading.

Sorry, it has to be said...
This reminds me of the "Nature finds a way" scene from the original Jurassic Park.
