    What are these?!?!?

    Hi,

    My banded water snake has been living in her new home for a couple of months now, and today her owner contacted me, because she, I mean the snake, made five of these. WHAT!? Can unfertilized eggs be coloured like this?

    Those look like "jellybeans," AKA unfertilized eggs. I'm sure the colors are different for different species/genuses.

    yep, those are jellybeans... unfertilized babies! Don't worry about her, as long as she is able to pass them, she is fine.
