If a ball python has this meat looking thing hanging from its anus, what does it mean?
-
I just found out right now as I was getting to feed my ball python "Lady" that she was dead. :"( I loved her soooo much. I started noticing that there was a bloody meat looking thing coming out of her rectum. I was afraid to touch it and avioded from me harming her. I noticed this started happening almost 3 weeks ago. I don't know why I didn't take her to the vet. i had planned on taking her this Friday so as I just finished thawing one of her "fuzzies" I reach in the cage and picked her up, she was stiff. I dropped her and she wouldn't move at all. I want to know why and how my "Lady" died??

Answer:
She had a prolapse of her internal organs...a very serious problem that needed to be fixed as soon as it was seen. If the tissue is left out, it will dry up and the blood supply will be cut off. This will lead to infection and shock. Cause? Could have been parasites, egg binding, impaction, poor living conditions, etc.

She avulsed her rectum. Sometimes they push so hard or the poop is bigger than the intestine can handle and it rips out. I had that happen to a burmese python but fortunately got her to the vet in time to have it stitched back in and sanitized. Sorry for your loss. http://zoocrewkids.blogspot.com/
"I don't know why I didn't take her to the vet." Uggggggggghhhhhhhhhh Wellp. I hope one day it happens to you, just so you can see how fun it is to let it hang out while you're waiting to go to the doctor. I'm guessing you probably won't wait for as along as you let your pet suffer, though. :"I want to know why and how my "Lady" died??" You neglected her until she died. The vet could have fixed the prolapse, which need immediate medical attention.
