    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I work at a pet store and one of our balls appears to have defecated and more came out than should have. It seems as though the organs (maybe reproductive, definately not hemipenes although I don't know the sex of the ball) have inverted themselves. The ball is still very active. Any suggestions?

It is unfortunately cheaper to buy another ball than to see a vet so the pet store doesn't do that.

Thanks for any help.
 
its very important to get these organs back in their right place or they will dry out with time.
 
Drying out is a big issue, to help keep that from happening, keep the ball python on wet paper towels for the time being. You can even use some polysporin on the prolapse . If you can take it to the vet, please do so immediately. Here is some info that may help, it is for iguanas, but it is worth reading:

Good luck.
