It appears like it could be eggs, but I have a few questions. When was this female last in contact with a male? Also, this looks like a tremendously large clutch for a blackhead, and according to the original post, this female was feeding just a couple of weeks before the radiographs were taken. If these are eggs, I would think that it would be very unusual that a female blackhead with a clutch of this size would still be feeding. Another question would be if she was ever seen in the inverted position that is typical of gravid female pythons, especially blackheads. That would cinch it. Another possibility that would explain a lot would be that these are unfertilized ova, and not shelled eggs.
