Strange Lump Hanging From BP's cloaca

Urates could be coming out because soaking can encourage them to empty their bowels. If it was urates though, I would think it would mostly come out all at once unless there is just some stuck on the prolapsed area. Blood is not so much a good thing, but if the prolapse has been rubbed raw or something than it may bleed some. If it is coming out from somewhere internally though I would definitely have a fecal done.

I once rescued a baby ball python and it prolapsed--turns out it was loaded with internal parasites. My vet fixed the prolapse, put in a few stitches and we treated it for the parasites and it never had any further problems.

thanks for your feedback. I'll call the vet tomorrow and see if they can squeeze me in. I see a lot that this requires "immediate" attention. How many days do you think we can hang in there for before it turns for the worst?

You should get him in to see a vet within 24 hours of when the prolapse happened. If you tell the vet that the snake is prolapsed, they should be willing to see him quickly as they will understand that it is an emergency.
