What is this? (pics)

Redboy, one of my young males, shed a couple days ago. There were two little shed protrusions on each side of the vent. I’ve never noticed this before and just thought it was interesting. Is this the shed from the spur?

And just 'cause I think he's so handsome, here's a pic of Redboy

Those do look like spur shed sheaths but Hemipenes also shed.
