Yesterday my '07 O. Hannah passed something odd. She seemed fine and was hunting again, so I removed it and examined it. It appeared that one of the feeder snakes (frozen) that I acquired from the university must have been gravid and carrying eggs. While the embryos were undeveloped and unrecognizable, they were present.
Just sort of unusual. Anyone else ever seen this?

I've never seen that specifiacally, but I've seen the occasional rat tail or wad of snake scales. I think things just pass through them so fast that some of the harder to digest items make it through sometimes...
Come to think of it though, the kings I've worked with have almost always been fed either pythons that were too young to be gravid or strips of adult pythons, so there's little chance of eggs getting into the mix...
