Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Your snake has a prolapse and needs to go to a vet. The prolapse has to be put back inside and there may be a need for a stitch, or two, to keep it in place.
In the mean time, get her on paper towels rather than keeping her on substrate.
Make sure the prolapse stays moist by applying some KY jelly on it (I have used a mixture of KY jelly and antibiotic ointment). If it dries out, &/or becomes necrotic, she/you will be in a lot more trouble.
Again, get her to a vet asap.
BTW I have not suggested that you insert the prolapse back into the snake because I am not sure how comfortable you would be with it, it would be best if you have seen it done, and if something goes awry it would be best if the snake is already at the vet's.

i reinserted the prolapse myself. It was tricky as F*ck but i managed to get it back in and so far its still inside.. As you might know these Biak's are nippy, but she let me handle her and put it back in.. Im not going to feed for a few weeks. Fingers crossed..

It's good that you were able to fix the prolapse, but considering it was your first time, seeing a vet would still be a good idea, especially because he is still pretty young. I think we should also discuss your husbandry so you can hopefully avoid this in the future. What's his age, size, cage size, substrate, and how often are you misting?

glad you manage to get it in, but as mentioned, more details would help us help you to avoid this in the future..
once it comes out, it easier to have it happen again... how is it doing since the prolapse ?
another question would be,
What size prey are you feeding this little one ?

Ahh, here we go. Chondros should be maintained on mice exclusively. I have a hatchling about that Size eating peach mice (borderline between small hopper) every 7 days.
