Thanks Wolfgang :¼)
So, could we say that due to this prolapse the snake will probably die? Cheers, Alan |

Alan,
Yes, that is definitely a prolapsed hemipenis - the cloaca does not have any spines. Cheers, Wolfgang |

Hi Gemma , Thanks for putting the pics up .
LOL! :¼) Ah Yes ! It's that grass snake moment ;¼). 3foot!? Very nice , I'm glad you shared the lovely aroma ;¼) Now, I'm not to sure . All I know is ,My sister had a tortoise with prolapsed cloaca and it looked just like this .The snake could not retract, and whatever it is was very dry , not healthy looking at all . I'm sure one of our experts will clarify ;¼) |
