[Chris1]

does he have a water bowl? lokis poos are generally well lubricated by all the liquid that comes out with them,...

 

[speech]

how can i tell if he has prolapsed..and yer he has got a really big water bowl

 

[Chris1]

if anythings hanging out of his bum?

 

[tan]

A pic would help...

 

[speech]

no not really anything hanging out that looks out of place and it kinda looks like its getting smaller.and it dont seem to worrie him but it looks very strange

 

[speech]

sorry there is not really anyway i can get a pic i no its pretty hard to explain

 

[da_donkey]

sounds impacted to me..

donk

 

[speech]

so if he was what impacted what would you guys suggest

 

[Kali7]

mmm..... snake massage works really well, but you have to know what you are doing otherwise you may mistakenly break bones if you stretch him too hard. I would take him to a reptile vet to be on the safe side.

 

[speech]

yer im trying to book him in

 

[Chris1]

check his temps so it dosent happen again, i've heard that temps beign to low can cause impactions,...fro now i'd take him to the vet though,...he might be able to give him an enema,...

 

[speech]

hey i cant get him in to next thursday.. if anyone has any pics of a prolapsed snake can they post it and ill let you no if if looks like that..as there is no really way i can get a pic up
