Is this an egg?

My son's corn snake is approx. 2 years old. After a very difficult shed on Monday, we found an egg-like blob in the tank yesterday afternoon. (See picture). Is this an egg? If not, any idea what it is?

NO...

It's fecal/urite (poop) matter

I've seen "that" 100's of times over the years.
The problem with snakes is everything comes out of the cloaca. Eggs, fecal and urites exit the same orifice.
The matter next to the yellow blob is fecal matter.
Now I've never cared to examine the yellow jelly/eggy looking stuff but I guess it could be an undeveloped slug ???? Never payed enough attention to whether I only seen it with females either. When I have seen it it was always accompanied with fecal matter and urites. Hmmm ? ? ?

So that means Tucker could still be a boy, right? My son was so sad to think that "he" was now a "she"!

Since Wednesday, there have been 3 more "eggs." While thinking that Tucker was hungry this evening, we offered a mouse, which he ignored. After 30 minutes, we put him back in his cage and found another one in feeding cage, so that makes 5 "egg-like" things in 3 days...attached are a few pictures...is this really poop???
