My female is uhh.. Exposing herself?

So I have a female pastel that is 3 1/2 feet long and a almost 1400 grams and she is well uhh exposing herself I guess you could say. Is this something to worry about or does that mean she'sin heat or ovulating?

Can we get a pic? Might be a prolapse, which could be a vet visit and need some immediate action.

I'll post one next time I see it she just ate today so I can't handle her for 2 days.

Not handling after feeding is only a guidline. A possible prolapse takes priority and should be dealt with sooner rather than later.

It doesn't stay out or come out like outrageously far or anything, it only comes out for a brief second then goes back in and stays in for a while. She's certainly very close to being ready to breed an her tank is right next to a 3ft male lesser.

Are you absolutely positive she is a she? If so, I don't think anything should be poking out. Hemipenes can come out of a cloaca, but I've never heard of a vagina coming out of the cloaca unless it's a prolapse.

Yeah, she was my first and I got her from a breeder, so unless he miss sexed her she should be a she

Does she wag her tail at all?

Females in breeding readiness will raise their tails and express some musk. I keep my snakes on unprinted newspaper and one of the ways that I know breeding took place is to observe the 'tracks' on the paper the next day after introducing a male.

Yeah I caught her doing it again today and put her down in the tank and tried to get a picture for a few minutes and she started wagging he tail like a dog and continued doing it, she's been doing it on and off all day and I did some research and she laying down musk apparently? I have a male I can put with her but I thought 1400g was the minimum before they should be breed.

Um, yeah. To put it bluntly she wants some lovin. I will try a female at 1200 depending on how ready i think she is. A lot of people are saying 1500 these days. Honestly it just depends on the girl. All that said, just because she wants it doesn't mean she needs it. Unless you were planning to breed her and are prepared for everything that goes along with it, don't. If you are going to do it it should be safe at that weight if she has had at least 3 winters and is healthy.
