Re: Inside/Out?
I'm definitely no expert, but it does look like a prolapse. I think you have the right idea about the sugar and water, but you may want to make it thicker. I have heard of some people even making a paste and applying it.
I hope everything works out!

Re: Inside/Out?
Yes, mix the sugar into the water until no more sugar will go into solution. Then apply to the prolapsed hemipene and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Then rinse off. If it hasn't resolved itself in a few more hours, the vet will need to do a purse string suture to keep everything where it needs to be.

Re: Inside/Out?
It was a prolapsed Hemipenes, the good news is the vet was able to save the snake. The bad news is he could only save one Hemipenes and this male may not reproduce again.
They had to perform surgery to place back and remove one of the hemipenes as it was dieing and could not be saved. I just left the snake at the vet and will pick it up this afternoon. I called the every vet nearby and none was see the snake last night! I kept it moist and did the best I could till I got it to a vet the next day. I was lucky to have had seen this vet in such short notice considering it's the weekend.
This is for those who think keeping snakes are just cages, food and water!
$375.00 for the surgery + $46.20 for the exam + $22.00 for antibiotics = about $475.00 w/tax!!
IMO, well worth it even though he will not breed again! He'll have a nice Boaphile 421D to retire in...[]
I'm just glad this had a happy ending!
