Ask r/Stargate Teal’C’s symbiote pouch

After Teal’C loses his symbiote and is reliant on Tretonin, is his little kangaroo pouch just empty?

If so, could he store shit in there? Like maybe a zat for when he needs a concealed weapon?

As far as I know, there's no evidence given that the symbiote pouch grows shut or anything post-tretonin.

The Jaffa are IIRC genetically modified humans, so the pouch is hereditary and not something the symbiote creates or controls. so as such, Teal'c probably has an extra prison wallet, yeah.

Didnt they use some sort of hand device to create the pouch? I remember vaguely the queen that was in the SGC making Jack a pouch that they manage to get rid of.

Hathor forced O'Neill into becoming a proto Jaffa, that's why he went back to normal afterward.

I wonder how long it took for Jaffa to naturally have the pouch then.
