Ok now before you all rant on me, i know and i stress "i know" i should have money if i am going to have a cham for vet bills, and let me assure you i had "plenty" when i got the little guy, something happend at my job, what? i dont knwo but i have not been given work for the past 2 months so iv been living off my spare cash as i look for another job, now to my problem, He had blood at the bottom of his terrarium about 2 weeks ago and i had no vet money so i decided to see what would happen in a week (if there would be more blood) and there wasnt and after inspecting him pooping he looked completly fine, no blood, no hemipenis sticking out, and no dark colors on him himself. Today i went into my room and i noticed blood on him again so i soaked him in some warm water and had some help cleaning it off with a qtip from my girlfriend. i pushed on the little bulge around his vent area and it looks like there is something in that that has been cut and has a scab but im not to sure what it is. it "went back in" and still is in but as i said i kinda forced it out so its not a prolapse. "i know" the first thing you are goin gto say is take him to the vet but i was wondering what you guys think it could be or if there is anything i can do untill i get him to the vet. Their not the greatest but here are some pics

Looks like a sperm plug. what are you feeding him and what is his supplementation schedule. Sperm plugs that impact in young healthy males can be the result of diet and supplementation.

im feeding him crickets and superworms, i give him calcium with d3 twice a month, multivitimines once a month and calcium withough d3 every other feeding
 
im still wondering how his insides seem to be cut :\ could it of been from a poo that was too large?
 
probably from being fed too much chitin

i would feed less and spread out the times food is availible

try to include silkworms into his diet

hmmm i recently have been giving him silkworms and he has been pooping quite alot, should i refil his cricket cup every other day after he empties it?
 
I have followed this thread and your previous thread about Charlie. By no means am I a sperm plug expert but if one of my chams were bleeding I'd be getting it to the vet. From reading on here you can see how fast these little guys can go down. I would beg or borrow if needed to get my cham to the vet.
