I'm a little confused. Did the snake have a history of prolaspes in the past? You said it does it every time it eats. If so you thought that this was a good snake for a beginer?

Prolapses are fairly common in GTP's. They can be gently coaxed back in by a variety of methods. One way is coating the prolapse with a sugar and water solution. Another is gently using a q-tip. Follow this link- its very helpful:
