Ya know I have a Ball Python Breeding DVD and they say that eggs cannot be resorbed, but it is follicles that are resorbed. Does this help answer the original post? Not really...but I find it more baffling in colubrids who generally eat more than Ball Pythons. Especially a female who is of age to breed. I had a proven Brooksi drive me nuts this year....she still is as I type. Not eating as much as she should, yet seemed to attempt to lure in her potentail mate eagerly. The attempted copulations by my male and even a borrowed male looked sloppy and just retarded. Tails by heads instead of Cloacas and hours of trying to get in the right spot...which I am not even certain ever heappened? She blows up and shrinks and then eats more. I am giving up on her for this year. I will inspect her poop as I clean her cage though for signs of bacterial infection which can halt the process of producing eggs dead in its tracks. This snake produced two fertile clutches last year...I am getting a headache. Damn snakes! Tom Stevens
