Question about Eggs

[Bogertophis]

It's called parthenogensis, and it can happen with ball pythons, but it's not likely.

It's only called parthenogenesis if they develop & hatch (in the case of egg-laying snakes) or if they're born (in the case of live-bearing snakes). Some snakes just produce non-viable "eggs" without any coming to life. Either way, snakes that produce eggs when you don't want them to reproduce is a hassle because you'll be feeding lots more food with no "return" on your investment & worse, there's always a chance the snake can become egg-bound, & either need vet help or even die as a result.
