Dark area on hemipenes

[PyroChris]

I’m hoping this pic is enough, but I’m looking at buying this lil guy from a local shop and I’m concerned about 1) his color 2) hemipenes looking like that. Any advice??? Oh he’s approx 4-5mos old.

Needs vet.

That is a severe hemipenal prolapse and needs a vet ASAP.

From the blackened color, it appears his prolapse is starting to become necrotic. This poor little guy should have been taken to a good vet as soon as the prolapse happened. If he isn’t given proper veterinary care soon, there’s a good chance he won’t survive long.

Echoing the Vet needed x100. You need to keep it moist too, coat it in PLAIN KY jelly (No additives just the plain kind). Hopefully it can be saved otherwise surgery will be needed.

Thank you everyone. As much as I like this lil guy and he seemed to like being held, I’m gonna pass but will mention that he should be taken to a vet.

Please do... If you want recommendations for breeders let us know. The breeder should have known better with the hemipenes like that.

Ok here are a few I really like and would buy from.

https://chameleonsonly.com/
https://ipardalis.com/

All three have extremely good reputations within the hobby.

You would be in great hands with all three of those breeders. They breed amazing chams and put the time and care into them.

Just checking to see if you were going to keep him or donate? I was unclear with your answer-- I get confused easy.
If you are going to take to vet- you can put some ointment on to keep it moist and soft, and it will allow for the vent to pass waste.

How is his eating and drinking? As mentioned above it is important to act as quick as you can. Keep us posted either way, it is always a good learning lesson when we get the end result- good or bad.

The cham was at a pet store. They were looking at buying it but are not now.

And, I looked at the picture many times too.

Thanks for clarification. Teamwork!
