Thank you for the reply! The eggbound female you got, when you said she came to you eggbound do you mean that you'd gotten her from someone else? As for the virgin female did she continue to lay infertile eggs or was it a single incident?
I'm glad to hear it's not as common as I'm thinking. At least not enough where I hope I don't need to actively think about or steer away from females. I'm trying to learn and prepare as much as possible in case this is something I may encounter with the female hatchling I'll be getting soon. The eggbound potential did have me a bit scared to the point I'm starting to wonder if I should get a male instead.
If egg laying does happen, would you say there's a good chance it will be a reoccurring or seasonal thing? Or sporadic and random? Do you think being around males/being able to smell males near by would increase the chances of virgin egg laying? Granted I have a male ball python and I'm guessing it would be limited to the same snake species.
