Help! scared for my snake

[LiquidDrool]

So i was examining my python and i noticed something, I fed him about two days ago and im examining him i look at his tail/rear end and there is a mouse claw coming out of the back of him? like out of the holes near his tail? i fed him frozen... is it just an undigested claw? that doesnt sound right. I dont know what to do and am worried!

[LiquidDrool]

Ok looked up ands it the cloaca. i mean i hope he doesnt have internal damage, i hope i dont find him dead in the morning!

Pictures?

That doesn't sound right... Could you be talking about his spurs? They are little 'claws' on either side of the cloaca.

[LiquidDrool]

thats maybe what it is! ive never heard of spurs!! I hope so!! even with all the research that goes into owning a python there is still new stuff everyday.

[LiquidDrool]

just looked up images i am beyond relieved and feel a little stupid. Well anyway, hows every ones day going?

[LiquidDrool]

Its the spuuuuuurs

Hahaha, I thought they looked pretty weird when I first noticed them too. Like little earwig pincers.

[DVirginiana]

lol I'm glad this ended up being a happy thread

[ratchet]

They caught me off guard too, at first I didn't realize they were exposed all the time. They are just weird looking when you aren't used to them.
