We were feeding the adults today and, to my chagrin, discovered my boy Ra seems to have prolapsed during the week... at first we thought he had some dried fecal stuck to his cloaca somehow, but when I soaked him and cleaned him off realized it was tissue. If I'm looking at this right, it looks like he prolapsed his hemipenes as well as some extra. Unfortunately I can't find my camera link-up to post photos.
I called the emergency vet and was told if he seemed pretty stable it was probably best to wait until the exotic experts came in at 8am. Since Ra seems pretty chipper, I'm figuring this is my best course of action. Whatever's hanging out of him looks like it's gone, considering the dark black color
I don't mind if he can't breed again, it's the "extra" that worries me. I wonder if he prolapsed passing a big poo? I saw a thread that said that happened to a boa, and we did find a shed skin with a pretty massive poo attached.
I have him resting on some damp paper towls in a bin right now. Anyone have any advice, or what to expect? Should I be taking him to the emergency clinic even though there's no snake experts there at the moment?
Thanks, any advice is appreciated
