weird
i was goin over my snake today and i realized that right by her poopshoot she had these two "nubs" on either side. i have no idea what they are and they are too small to take i picture of. i know its definetely not ticks or anything. they look like little kitten claws. when i touch them they dont seem to bother her or anything. can anyone help me on this please.

They are called spurs, and they are found on most snakes.

Re: weird
Not on most snakes. Just on most boids. Spurs are the last remnants of snakes' ancestral hind legs. These days, evolutionarily speaking, they're not good for much, except one thing - male boas and pythons use them to stroke and stimulate their ladies before copulation. (Some gals take more stimulation than others, of course . . .)
