>>I have never seen this before!! it is almost jelly like and has few to no blood vessels in it. At the cloaca scale the tissue is fairly red! but what is sticking out is like jelly and translucent. GOT ME!!!.........................Lee <

The clear part is intestinal membrane. When GTPs defecate, they prolapse every single time. It's when the tissue doesn't retract that problems occur. Definately DO NOT let the tissue dry out. Grab some KY Jelly and keep it wet. A warm soak might also help, but it's all chance. If it doesn't retract on its own, re-insert and apply the bandaid. Keep us posted.

Good luck.
