Something is wrong with my snake and I have no idea
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?https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...2FOgzRAUWP.png

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.

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.
