Something is wrong with my snake and I have no idea

[Hungry]

Recently my snake has been having problems.
At first I thought it was trying to poop but recently it looks like it is trying to lay an egg and it's stuck but I'm pretty sure it's male and I can't afford to take it to the vet, so what could I do to maybe help it poop out whatever it is?

No it looks fine when he's done trying to do anything

This looks like a prolapse. The snake absolutely needs a vet for this and immediately. There are some steps recommended online as a stopgap to keep the tissue healthy until the snake can be taken in for treatment. I will not list them personally as I am not a vet and also have no experience with these measures. Regardless, even with these home treatments it is still urgent to taken him in-think next day at latest.

Edit: if this is only mid-pooping, it is still an issue but at least not as severe as a prolapse. Warm (88f) bath may help. If this does not resolve the problem, he likely needs the vet.

The only thing I can think of is bathing him in lukewarm water. If that doesn't work and no one else gives you better advice you're going to have to take him to the vet

I agree that it looks like a prolapse. I've read that you should put the animal on paper towels, make a sugar water paste, and apply it to the prolapse. I would also get the animal to a vet ASAP.
