I have had a Stimson's Python for 3 years now. Initially I bought it as a female, and it was only after 2 years that it was actually confirmed by the Vet as a male.
It has always fed well. I used to feed him every Wednesday until the last year when he has been a little less wanting to eat, so now I feed him each 3 weeks. The last time he took food was a small rat on 17th November 2024. He is nice and plump looking. Today I took him out of his enclosure and found in his hide, three what looked like eggs (see attached photo). First my python has had no contact with any other snakes ever. Can these actually be eggs? Obviously they are not fertile? Also could this be the reason he is not eating. The only thing different I have done of late is to change the ground cover from aspen chips to a cover with larger, rougher chips 'Critter Comfort'. Can this be effecting him.
