Don't interupt me when I'm talkin' to myself

Yes. A gravid female. She deficated the other day and this thing came out tonight. The thin part is stretchy.

Looks like what other people have asked about...

Bad follicles?

-Ohh, what a Lady-

Balls for Life, Baby!

That's what I'm afraid it is.

i agree i had somthing like that come out of one of my birds when she was laying a cluch she still laid fertile eggs after but that is a bird

good luck

It can't be, how can a follicle move up from the ovaries to the stomach and out through the back end? Once Follicles are moved into the ovaries, they either mature and come out as eggs, or come out as slugs, and that isn't one. However, I've seen some weird stuff pooped out when Females are gravid. They may have a way of cleaning out the tract so the Eggs can move smoothly down the shute.

I think the idea is that the bad follicles would travel down the oviducts and out the vent, not down the digestive track.

I think I see at least a post a week on one of the various forums with detailed pictures and discussions of snake turds. Last week on the Kingsnake forum I saw closeups of a King excreting another snake it had eaten. I personally just grab it with a paper towel and throw it away. I know...if ya notice an odd load it would grab your attention and raise questions. Imagine what people who don't keep snakes would think if they came on these forums. "Apparently snake people also have scat fetishes. Galdang weirdos."

my mom came on this forum not too long ago, just to see what i was talking about and saw the 'snake porn' post... and a few other odd ones...
This would be a great one to show her...

anyway- ever been around a pregnant woman? thier poo isn't exactly normal either... i think its just poo...
