Ok, for those that don't know, we sort of "rescued" a ball from a lady who didn't really know how to take care of him. We didn't really know either, but we are trying. He's been doing really well with us, is now eating regularly, but tonight scared the crap out of me!
He woke up at his normal time, came out and passed his normal pee (the white stuff?) in his water. (LOVES to piss inthe water!) Anyway, he climbed down out of the water, but looked like we was still straining! It looked like he was turning his entire rectum inside out. Very gross, but I've seen him do it before, I thought it was normal. Well, then all of a sudden I see BLOOD! and it looks like there is a dark bloody mass coming out of his hole. Sorry this is graphic, but here are the pics:

The blood streak he left:
He did all this literally about 10 minutes ago. Now he has crawled back into his hide and is just sitting there. What do I do? What in goodness sake IS THAT THING? Is it a poop? This can't be normal. There are no reptile vets anywhere near here (there is probably one 2.5 hours away in Atlanta.)
I have taken the mass out, incase he tried to eat it, or something......Ew, please help!
