So I pick up my big boy the other day and notice that there's something strange around the vent. There's a dry reddish brown substance one side. So I talk to one of my breeder friends in town, and he thought it might be a dried up sperm plug since he's been breeding like crazy. He advised to take a wet paper towel and try to gently pull it away.

Well, the later of it we could see came away but underneath it was this red irritated looking...something. I know it's not a prolapse because I've seen plenty of pictures. So I talked to the guy again and he said it could be a swollen hemipene due to substrate getting pulled in after breeding sessions. So he advised to remove the substrate and use paper and put some neosporin on it. So we've done that now.

However, I thought I'd throw this out here to see what you guys think?

There is a vet that does snakes here so if it doesn't get better I'll take him in.
