January 15th, I took both the females to work to check for eggs with the ultrasound machine. Dr. Heng helped and we were able to find many eggs in both Hanna and Emmy. Since there has also been recent mating behavior, I expect the eggs are fertilized and will be laid within two months. Two eggs can be seen in this image, they are the circular masses on the lower portion of the screen. Python eggs in early development can be identified by their location in relation to the gall bladder and ovaries and by their hypoechoic (darker) margins.
