That looks like a prolapse. You can soak it in warm sugar water to encourage the swelling down and get it to shrink, if it does not go in at all, then you will have to keep it moist (vasaline maybe?) and get him to a vet immediately so that the flesh does not dry out and die.
Sometimes when they get stressed or feel very unsafe they will do that to scare the predator/enemy away, Did something very stressful happen? Possibly when you were handling him?

I've never heard of that. I've never seen a prolapse, but that would be my guess. How would a lump of tissue hanging out a snake's butt scare a preditor away?
What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

Here is a listing of Herp Vets in Michigan from ANAPSID. I have tried a few on the Michigan herp society in the past and their list is very outdated. (Couple years at least)
