Advising novice keepers that dont know the difference between compaction,impaction,prolapse or any other animal health issue should be refered to a Vet for proper animal care,granted the honey trick does work but nothing replaces hands on experience afforded by a Vet visit.

>>I should add that any exposed tissue can not be let to dry out. If this happens or has already happened, that's bad news! Call the vet now. If you need to buy some time until you can get the honey, put the snake in a container lined with very moist paper towels and only a little ventilation so the tissue will remain moist. Then when you get the honey, you can apply it and return the animal to its normal enclosure lined only with newspaper so no substrate sticks to the tissue. If the problem does not resolve itself within 24 hours from the application of the honey, then see a vet.
