>>Ok, this is really wierd. Flax's vent has been slightly open lately. I noticed it the other day, but he peed & pooped shortly after so I though it was just him getting ready for the stuff. I have heard of prolapse in lizards, is it possible in snakes?

>>I havent seen anything stick out any further than what the picture shows. Nothing seems to be drying out either, so that is good. Possibly because he loves his moist moss box so much.

>>I've never seen nor even heard of this happening in snakes, so I don't know if it will just take care of itself or not.

>>If I need to take him to the vet, what can they do? Is it an infection and this is just swelling tissues?
>>
>>Any help appreciated... thanks!!

Aubrey,
Reptiles "magazine" has a great article on prolapse and recommended treatments.
Check out the November 2007 issue, has a huge blood python on the cover. ----- Jason A.
