Want to know if it's safe to breed/ or sex (probing)
So here's the deal I have a very pretty normal ball python looks like it's a morph of some sort so I want to breed it to see if I get anything out of it. The problem is that it had worms "most likely" when I got it and it had a prolapsed rectum! I took it to the vet twice to get it stitched back up and pushed back in finally fixed it! Poor little bugger de wormed as well.
So my question is since it's had some traumatic stress down there do you think it is safe to
1) probe to find out its sex
2) furthermore breed to see f I can get a cool morph out of it.
Here's a picture of the cutie honest opinions I'd love to breed it but I'm not going to if it's not safe after that

Prolapses are not genetic but I probably wouldn't breed that animal.
You should be able to probe it, though I rather pop I probably wouldn't do it till there was more weight on it and no signs of another prolapse.

Personally I would not breed an animal that had this type of issue, no reason to put more stress on the area IMO, plus it's a normal which means it's pet material.
Your chances of getting something out of it are very slim there is nothing that say dinker and breeding normal means you could end up with a lot of new pets, normal do not sell so keep that in mind.

Personally, I would not take the risk of reinjuring of the animal just for an experiment. It looks like a regular normal to me. Might as well let it live it's life as a pet instead of a breeder.
