[Mulcahy]

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Its a prolapse.
Take it to vet and he will push it back in.

 

[Vassallo2008]

Its Back in she looks fine and normal. so do i need to go to the VET?

Yes it is called prolapse. & It sounds like its retracted itself. Either way once a snake prolapses I've heard it will happen again and is fatal if it doesn't retract within a few hours as the blood cannot flow properly and it swells up.

 

[funcouple]

its a prolaps. can happen in hatchies till they have muscle control. remove anything that your snake can climb on. dont feed it for a couple of weeks. reduce the size of the feed. make sure the enclosure temperature is right so it can digest its feed properly. if it keeps prolapsing it need to go to a vet

 

[Mayhem]

As said, its prolapse. You said its gone back in? if thats the case things should be fine. Definately needs a Vet check and some advice if required though.

Do a search on "Green Tree Python prolapse" on Google and possibly here and it will tell you the immediate first aid steps you should take to ensure the best result.

Thats the first i heard of Prolapse happening to a Diamond,it is common with Chondros.Has any1 else had this problem with any other species of python.Keep a close on eye it,as it can happen again..

 

[chondrogreen]

Snakes defecate like this.
"Prolapse" is only a problem when it dosn't retract.

 

[Vassallo2008]

Alright then. So is there a chance it maybe the snakes Penis? the snake was probed a a female however its only a hatchie and that was by the breeder.

 

[Pythons Rule]

lol you'll know it its the penis haha

they have 2 fleshy penises that have heeps of spine's (very shark barbs) on the side of the penises.

 

[pseudechis4740]

Ahh, just got to love the novices advice. Yes it is possibly prolapse but only worry about running off to the vet if reoccurs or if it doesn't retract. If it is the first time it has happened or the fist time you have noticed it just monitor the condition and reduce the size of the feeds.

A wild male scared me when he showed me his manhood. I had him by the tail and he was thrashing about and popped them out.
