I would agree with oldherper. It definitely looks like a tapeworm egg. Possibly Bothridium sp., which is common in pythons. I really don't think it is a Coccidian cyst because I see no obvious sporocysts. For tapeworms, people usually treat with praziquantel or niclosamide. This is also effective for most trematodes as well. For coccidians treatment with metronidazole is effective.
