Just learned about 'prolapsing' in pythons. And I remembered my Hatchling Jungle's first bowel movement since bringing her home. Part of her bowel came out with the waste but as I watched, wondering why this was happening it slowly withdrew back into the body. She didn't seem distressed and I haven't observed it since but now I am worried that she was hurt and all I did was wave it off as a hatchling anomaly. I cannot be sure it hasn't happened again since. I read it can be because of dehydration but I always thaw her food in hot water so they are wet when I give them to her and she always has access to a large water dish. I even spray down her enclosure every now and then to simulate rain. She is now on Hoppers and I have no idea what her first meal was before I bought her. She was bred by [Moderated] and they only offered me their license details. I bought her from the Newcastle expo in March. I also read it is uncommon in females as apparently most 'prolapses' are the male organs coming out.
