Need Help!

My male het albino Atrox bred a couple weeks ago.He has been in perfect health! 2 Days ago i noticed somthing sticking out of his cloeaca(sry if spelled wrong). It is black and hard and appears to be attached to flesh in the vent.I pulled lightly on it and saw blood.I went no further.I have pics but they are to large to post here. I could e mail pics to you.Any help would be awesome!
I am not new to venomous but i am new to breeding them.I have never encountered this in vens or non.

Thanks a bunch

It's possible that it's a prolapsed hemipene that has become necrotic. If that's what it is it may need to be amputated.
You can email the photo to me and I'll post it with your permission.

send it to gila7150 at earthlink.net (replace at with @)

I'm posting some of Trey's pics at his request. I still think it looks like a prolapsed hemipene that is necrotic....especially since it recently bred with his female. Anyone agree or disagree?

The good news is that surgical amputation of a hemipene is a fairly simple surgery and if only one is affected, your snake may still be able to breed.

A couple of the pics you sent wouldn't open but these should be good enough to show the problem.

Prolapsed hemi. Should be seen by a vet, but there are things you can try at home. Contact me off list, but first read this web page thoroughly: http://www.snakegetters.com/demo/vet/

Thats a dried up hemi for sure...... I have seen this happen in monitors...... The vet will amputate and the snake should be fine afterwards..... Good luck with him Trey..... I hope it all works out..... Keep us updated.....
