Was checking on my 2011 blood python this morning and it pooped and there is about an inch and a half of his rectum or some part of it sticking out, it is quite a lot compaired to the size of the snake. Anyone have any advice on how to get it back in. The closest Vet is about 4 hours away and I won't be able to make it there until Sat.

This is what I did. If I did it wrong. Please correct me. but this worked for me. I got a 3500 gram adult male, prolapsed. It was scabbed, bleeding, pussing, sick nasty. IT came this way to me. I researched it. 1. Get it off normal bedding. put it on moist paper towels that you are going to change at least once a day... I changed three times a day. Go get triple antibiotic plus, NO PAIN RELIEVER and the stuff in the brown bottle called peroxide. its like three bucks total at walmart. I put that on twice a day. First I cleaned with the peroxide. held a paper towel and just poured it on. Then smeared the T.A.P. on it. morning an Night. did this for a week, Also elevated the temperature to 90. On top of all that. I gave it 85 degree sugar water baths.... It severally reduces swelling. Something about he sugar. I forget what I read. After a week. The scabs had peeled off and it wasnt pussy. next. I used a sterile smooth rounded plastic rod. and poked it back in. All this was done with someone else holding the snake for me while I worked on it. It was not easy to get back in. and for the next three months it came back out about once a week. After that. Fixed. No more problems. I am not a Vet. Nothing I did was told to me by a professional. All my sources are from forums on google. It just happened to work for me. It is a lot of work. But the other option is amputation or stitches. No more breeding

Prolapse is usually cause by bad housing conditions..... too cold most likely... Id fix that to stop it happening again. The stool passed is not right if the housing conditions are off
