Another action to take for prolapsed HEMIPENES!

amazoa Nov 21, 2003 08:15 AM

A couple of years ago I spoke with Dave Barker about the problem of prolapses. He suggested I use Preparation H on the prolapsed hemipene which reduces swelling, coats the hemipene and often results in the situation being resolved. Of course after a reasonable time with no improvement the snake should be taken to a competent reptile vet. Hope this helps.................Richard
