Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!! I can confirm that a ball python can indeed produce eggs without a male. I have just found 9 eggs in with my ball python and she has never been around a male ball python in the 24 years that I've had her and we got her when she was only a few months old. She did have a house mate for a about 8 years when she was younger but it was a Red Tail boia and he died 10 years ago. We did a flashlight look at the eggs and it appears 7 of the eggs do have veins running through them but we can't be sure the eggs are viable for a few weeks.
