A snake prolapse occurs when a snake's internal organs protrude from its body, often through the cloaca. This can be caused by various factors such as constipation, injury, or stress. It is important to treat a snake prolapse promptly to prevent infection and further complications. To treat a snake prolapse, gently clean the exposed organs with warm water and sugar, then carefully push them back into the snake's body. It is crucial to seek veterinary help if the prolapse is severe or if the snake is in distress.
Take precautions to prevent future prolapses by maintaining proper husbandry practices and ensuring the snake's environment is stress-free. By addressing a snake prolapse promptly and taking preventative measures, you can ensure the health and well-being of your pet snake.
