Omg. Eggs!

[Bogertophis]

Snake has never been with another snake, I thought she was a male until a couple of months ago in fact.
As she hasn't been bred, then obviously we need parthenogenesis to happen for babies, so its a long shot really that they are viable eggs.

Up to 4 eggs now, bottom 10" above the vent looks chunkier than the the rest of the snake, so I think there could be 5/6 eggs perhaps.

I haven't seen any veins yet in the couple I've looked at. But it's funny cause they do look like proper eggs, I'll just leave her be anyway and check for veins later.

Just worried an egg will get stuck that's all, egg bound I think its called.

I'm relieved somethings happening anyway cause she wasn't eating and she felt squidgy underneath (like the eggs do now), so hopefully should get her appetite back soon.

LOL, yes, I'd say you've got a female...leaving her undisturbed while she's laying eggs is the best, to help preclude egg-binding. Still can happen with unusually-
large eggs now & then, but hovering can make her nervous & tense, not what she needs to get her job done. Give her as much privacy as you can stand...

If it makes you feel any better, I have 2:2 Florida (yellow+) rat snakes that have never bred, yet every year both females lay double-clutches of infertile eggs, most
of which appear to be good but which eventually all go bad. I don't save the obvious slugs, but even so that's a lot of eggs! Their first clutch is 2 dozen or slightly less,
& the second clutch is mercifully much smaller. I've used the eggs for "show & tell" when my snakes meet the public.

When I have bred snakes & successfully hatched them, I've seen eggs that didn't immediately look good (maybe the veins were too small to show up) but after a week
or so did color up just fine & hatched out healthy snakes.

At least you know what's going on with her now. Snakes are full of surprises.
