I have a 6 month old Colombian Boa and since I got it, it has been doing fine. This afternoon, I look in the tank to find something very strange. Down by the tail at the opening of the clocoa, it looks as if it is swolen because there is purple swollen-like tissue coming from the clocoa. Has anyone experienced this with any of their snakes (boas in particular) and what is wrong with my snake. Please let me know ASAP if this is a medical problem.



Thanks,

Ryan
