    Help! scared for my snake

    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!

    Pictures?

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

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

    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.
