After the snake has a movement the swelling is gone?
Then it swells until you have another movement?
Could this be a case of sausage butt?

Re: swollen near tail and possible beginning prolapse?
No, he hasn't pooped since September and the swelling started a week ago. It comes and goes...he urinates liquid a lot and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I had him out earlier, noticed it was swollen again, took him out about 15 minutes later to take pics for the post and it had already started going down. I don't feel any lump or 'backed up' stuff in there, but maybe I'm just not pressing hard enough as I don't want to hurt him. It just feels like a water balloon, soft and bouncy.

Re: swollen near tail and possible beginning prolapse?
ok, I've just never seen him swollen, usually just poops and is done with it, same with my older ball and boa. I guess it makes sense to be swollen and then have it go away, if he's not letting loose? lol

If he's eating good, he is bound to poop good eventually.

So when it swells and then goes down does it urinate?

Yeah, and he's been urinating a lot... like the whole bottom of the cage, all the paper towels are soaked.

So it is possible you are seeing a liquid sausage butt? Id watch it close and see if when you notice the swelling the snake then relieves itself soon after.

Re: swollen near tail and possible beginning prolapse?
I just checked and he peed everywhere but is still swollen. I called and left messages at both reptile vets in my area so hopefully one will call me back in the morning with an opening today. If not, the emergency clinic has a reptile specialist on the schedule tonight so I can take him in then. I may just be overreacting but looking over my records he usually poops with his shed and his last shed was a few weeks ago and he didn't poop and soon after is when the swelling and refusing food started. It was actually the most perfect shed I have had yet with him too lol figures He did fart a little when soaking earlier so hopefully a sign of something on its way out lol
