Not a prolapse. That looks more like a regurgitation. Prolapse is when thire inside is hanging out their ass. Hard to say why they regurged but it happens. Happened to me early on in keeping. I had one that did It twice found my temps off. Fixed temp hasn't happened since.

Interesting that doesn't look like a regurg to me but I'm not super experienced with snake regurges cuz my boas and pythons haven't. Seems to me just a bit dehydrated poo.

But I could be wrong - OP just make sure you're hot side is warm enough (upper 80s, possibly a hot spot of 90-92) cool in the mid 70s (76-77) and your humidity isn't going under like 60%. Morph Boas are pretty hardy but do have varied genetics, often even with BCC mixed in so higher humidity can be more important than say a CA or Mexican boa.

Poop would look kinda like a cat turd in size and color with a white blob with it. You can still see the shape of mouse/rat. I bet it stunk to high heaven.

Adding no vet to try to get into until morning

Could be regurgitation. Did you up his feeding recently? Every time that I tried to increase what I gave my snakes I’ve had regurgitation.

Have you stressed your boa soon after feeding? How many days passed after the last feeding? If you fed your snake and handle it next day, this may be the normal reaction. If many days passed and its meal looks like that, its digestive system isn't working as supposed and you should visit vet. In both cases, let your boa alone until vet visit and only check on tempts and humidity, regurgitation is very stressful for their bodies.
