Amber colored jellybean

Ok guys, I found an amber colored semi-clear jellybean in Prettyboy's cage just now when I was cleaning cages. It was on top of everything, not dirty, so I have to think it just happened. She is the eastern that hasn't eaten in the last two months. My usb hub is out so I can't upload photos right now without a lot of monkey business. Any ideas on what it is or what would cause it?

Re: Amber colexactly like an undeveloped babyored jellybean

Tori, this sounds exactly like an undeveloped baby. I've no idea what causes it, only that it happens on occasion.

Re: Amber colored jellybean

So this won't hurt her, right? She is about 8 years old and has never been with a male snake.

Re: Amber colored jellybean

I've got no personal experience with this
I do seem to remember that somebody's snake had a problems with jellybeans that hadn't passed
perhaps you should feel whether there might be more she's carrying, and if so, give her warm baths

Re: Amber colored jellybean

aren't jellybeans always unfertilized?

Re: Amber colored jellybean

Finally got a new hub so I thought I would upload a photo of the "jellybean".
