Looks like a slight intestinal prolapse.Gently use a coton stick with warm water on it to take back this in the right place. :wink:

Yeah but I don't think its a good idea getting someone who doesn't know what they are doing to do that, especially with the snake in pain. Having someone inexperienced doing that is likely to cause more stress to the snake. Better to have the snake in the hands of someone that KNOWS what they are doing.

It's just a shame i haven't got a means to show this on video(haven't got a video camera )...It's so simple,when the prolapse is not too serious.But youre right,if the guy has no experience,maybe it's better he goes to a vet and watch it at least once before trying it.
