Is this normal

I have a friend who’s new to keeping who just texted me and asked if it was normal for a Male to randomly pop out their henipeins like he’s breeding and then put them back he was unable to get a picture and I’ve never experienced this and am not and expert in any way he is supper concerned as he just got fired and may not be able to pay a vet bill I might be taking the snake as I am able to take care of a vet bill if this is a serious issue

If it went back in I wouldn’t worry. I’ve never seen them do it but idk why they couldn’t just randomly.

I had one of my male hognoses randomly evert one of his hemipenes when I picked him up. It was weird, but he eventually pulled it back in :joy:

I assume other snakes may do the same, and if it went back in I don’t see it being an issue!

One of my male boas has done it twice while pooping, lol. I have also had a male corn snake do it I took him out for no reason and he is just fine. I wouldn’t worry about it as long as they went back in.
