. . . although I have never experienced it in my Boas, I've read other posts of those who have. I think that it would be a good start to try to gently push it back in, keeping everything clean and moist with warm water via wet paper towels or spray bottle. If you get it in, but it won't stay in, then I've heard of people putting tape on the cloaca to keep it shut until they can get to the vet. If you can't get it back in, then I'd lay him/her on a damp paper towel( no wood chips), and find a vet or animal hospital that works on reptiles.

I've heard of cases where they required stitches in their vent for awhile . Hopefully yours isn't that drastic. ------ Good luck.
