Anal prolapse?

I'm pretty sure that's what this is. His butt looked raw and swollen so I soaked him for a bit, he was able to pass a little bit of urate and now it looks like this.

This is the same boy I've had trouble with constipation with in the past. :/https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96b3ea322a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f62a455239.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...711384ff56.jpg

Have you looked up prolapses in snakes on google? The information I am finding suggests trying to push it back in with some lube and a gloved finger. It also says that failing that, you need to make a vet appointment.

Common causes consist of dehydration, parasites, and overfeeding

Yep, I know to put a sugar paste on it and push it back in gently... just wanna verify it's really a prolapse and not normal poopy butt before I do it lol

I have no experience with it, but that rectum is substantially further out than any of my snakes have ever had theirs. Actually, that's almost 3x further out than mine have ever been. But that's still not extremely far out

it shouldn't stay out like that after passing something. If this is a consistent problem with this guy id try to get a fecal sample and do a vet visit to see why it keeps happening.

Yes that's a prolapse. If it doesn't resolve quickly it's a vet visit.

Thank you! I checked on him this morning and it's back to normal. I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again.. I need him (gravel!) For future breeding projects next year 😫
