Hello,

I have a 12 year old Rosy Boa who I assume is female, but during her latest shed I noticed a strange protrusion on the shed skin itself. Does anyone know what this is?


As you can see, it is located in the vent area. I never knew that snakes shed their cloacal linings as well. (If that is in fact what this is.) Is it evidence of hemipenes and that my Rosy boa is actually a male?

Thanks!
