Shape and size is like a slug but it's very dark for any slugs I've ever seen.

[RedSidedSPR]

But, but how many french slugs have you seen?:p

Why the heck would it be in the cage if it were a slug... unless he grabbed a bunch of ground litter from outside and threw it in the cage...

[kibakiba]

I think he means a slug as in a birth slug, undeveloped egg kind of thing.

That's what I was thinking too. What we often call jellies or jelly beans. I've never seen one, other than in pics, though.

[kibakiba]

Yeah, everyone calls them something different, but yeah.

[Starling96]

So it's an undeveloped baby snake?

[kibakiba]

No, it's an unfertilized egg.

What's strange about this one is the color.
I've seen them yellow, cream, and amber but never something as dark as this.
Now I understand Jesse's statement, "unless he grabbed a bunch of ground litter from outside and threw it in the cage... "
Had me scratching my bald head for awhile.

It still has me confused. I think its the painkillers (I got dry socket in two of the wisdom teeth areas, so I was put on stronger painkillers)

[guidofatherof5]

I'm only guessing but I think Jesse though it was a slug(garden pest) that had been put in the enclousre and then dryed out.
Not a unfertilized egg(slug)

[kibakiba]

Ohhhh. That makes sense.

Now I feel like a complete, total, idiot. That's exactly what I thought.

Obviously the breeding lingo hasn't quite sunk in yet. I knew the term (even though it was missused here) but yeah, I just heard "slug" so I thought "SLUG"... I also had just been talking about real slugs in another thread..

Nevermind. Whatever.

Admitting it is a big step toward adulthood.
I feel that way on a daily bases.
I'm getting used to it.:D

[d_virginiana]

Haha, don't worry, when he said slug I thought the same thing. I thought 'that looks like an unfertilized egg, not a slug'... And it took me way longer than it should've to figure out what people were talking about. :p

[Eddie]

The reason it is so dark is because it has been in her way to long. I have seen this before. There may be more to come

Thanks Ed.
That's information we all can use.
