Hey yall. I have a 90 gram ball python who just shed - he had some stuck on his anal spurs/tail tip so I set him in some lukewarm water for a few minutes so I could get it off him. Well he pooped a little bit, but then seemed to be straining very hard and I noticed a huge 1.5-2 inch lump by his cloaca that he couldn't seem to pass. He looked like he was about to prolapse himself by pushing so hard. The lump is hard and it doesn't seem that he can pass it on his own.

Should I try to help by massaging it? Do i just wait for him to pass it on his own? Does this call for a vet?
