Male BP opening vent?

[TurkeyPython]

I have never seen this happen. I've had females exhibit this type of behaviour. Squirting and tail thumping. If you were going to breed them you can always toss them together and see what happens. Keep in mind she may not be receptive right now and he knows that. Are you sure its a hemipene?

I don't want to breed them yet, maybe next year but not yet so I'd rather not do that. I am 90% sure it was a hemipene. He was probed as male so I'm confident that he is in fact a male. He doesn't squirt or thump his tail, he doesn't even lift it when he does this
If I pick him up he immediately closes up so I'm sure it's not prolapsing
