I looked in one of my ball pythons cage this morning and noticed something a little funky. This is from Jayde, our supposed female Phantom.

We've had no problems with her, she eats, craps, and sheds well.

She was fed 2 weeks ago so she already released multiple urates and urine last week as well as her #2.

Anyways, I am kind of suspecting that 'she' may be a 'he' instead. So here's a few pictures, maybe someone can verify what this is for me?

Sperm plug?

that looks similar to the sperm plugs i have removed from my male jacksons chameleon in the past, but i'd like for a seasoned BP breeder to confirm...

I'm very suspicious, I'm hoping it isn't a sperm plug since we bought it as a female for a reason :p She's over 1,700 grams too so it's a little confusing since none of my males have gotten that big.

Anyone else know?

Looks like a plug to me, but i only have ever seen a handful so i can't say i am 100% sure.
