Question
I have a baby red-tail boa. Today when I got home I discovered this red ball looking thing coming from its rectum. Theres no one I can call at this hour so any advice would be nice. Thank You.

Answer
Hi Anita
It could be one of two things....a prolapsed rectum which is not very common.  Or one of his hemi-penis's.  You didn't say how young he is.  But for either one of those two things to come out of his rection... something had to cause it.   If it doesn't "go back in" by tomorrow I would highly suggest taking him to a Vet.   Let me know what happens.
