What the Inside of a Snake Looks Like
« on: June 15, 2011, 10:17:32 AM »
I am a Vet-Tech and I see this kind of thing SO OFTEN, yet it never ceases to amaze me. This is my Het Pied Female Ball Python full of eggs on
Radiographs (X-Rays). She was bred to my male Het Pied, and I can only hope the odd gods are with me!!!

Can you count how many there are??













Please do not copy, re-post, or steal these photos (Radiographs, in particular). Thank you for your honesty! :)
Cheers!

Really nice photos!  Thanks for posting them here.  And good luck with the eggs - sounds like you're going to have some really nice hatchlings.  Looks to me like 6 or 7 eggs?

Oh, and I was afraid these were going to be necropsy pictures - so glad they're not!  <LOL>

Looks like 7 eggs?
If it has scales, I want it. Period.

Thanks for the kind words guys! This is her first clutch. :) She is due to lay when my other Het Pied clutch is due to hatch, which is any day now! I am voting 6, but a small 7 I would be okay with, as well!
Cheers!
