Can popping wrong hurt the snake?
So I purchased a snake today, and it looks like it has something going on with its vent almost like an infection... the person is reputable so I'm not sure what to this at this moment... it just looks like its really swollen and also has like yellowish colour around it? should I let time tell or should I do something about it? i sent a text to the breeder just waiting on a response.

Can popping wrong hurt the snake?
Send a picture.
Popping wrong CAN hurt the snake. Especially if you use too much pressure.

popping a snake wrong won't cause an infection ...

Re: Can popping wrong hurt the snake?
I would notify breeder, which it sounds like you have. Take pictures to document. Maybe post us a pic for opinions as to whats going on. Potentially a vet trip.
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Couldn't it possibly happen though?

popping a snake wrong won't cause an infection ...
If someone applies pressure incorrectly and damages a hemipenes, that can certainly cause an infection. It'd be more difficult to do damage if it's a female though.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~ Herm Albright

I personally think you can't damage the hemipenes from popping wrong. Maybe just leave the snake a little sore. They're built to come out like that naturally.
Brian Gundy seems to think so as well.

Have you tried bathing her?
I would try that.
