Ball Python aborted.
Oh bummmmmer.
This was my big Scarbelly female, who I did not think had locked with anyone, obviously she was MORE than ready to breed, but for whatever reason she did not. So she aborted her unfertilized eggs.
Gave me quite a scare, and here are pictures so if it happens to anyone, they can tell what it does look like.

At least she seems fine. There seemed to be more than a dozen 'slugs' total.
Sigh...

Re: Ball Python aborted.
Those don't look like any ball python slugs that I've ever seen.

Re: Ball Python aborted.
They are unfertilized slugs, that did not develop, that is why they don't look like eggs or slugs that have been laid.
Basically her body went "We are ready for breeding!!! We are!! We are!!! Oh come on!!!! Dang it, poot"- and got rid of the eggs that she had gotten ready.
Description by a long time breeder by the way.
Definately not full term or even close. This is what WOULD have been slugs or eggs later.

Very sorry to hear about the bad news. How is the girl holding up?

Re: Ball Python aborted.
Isn't something like that normally reabsorbed? Otherwise, adult females would be dropping that sort of thing every breeding season, wouldn't they? (Meaning the ones that didn't hook up and get fertilized)
Regardless though, I do hope your girl is ok!

Re: Ball Python aborted.
I am fairly curious to see what those really are though... Anyone?

First off sorry whatever these really are happened to you and your female.I agree with Adam i have never ever seen slugs like these before.Majority of the time females just absorb the slugs or unformed eggs whichever you prefer to call them.
