Current Problem - Not trying to imply that there is a problem but I've noticed my cham's butt is looking swollen. When I first got him, I noticed that he had a small piece of sperm plug hanging out. It was too small for me to pull so I let him pass it normally 2 days later. It was a decent size plug. After he passed the plug, it was still swollen. 2 days later, he passed another big plug and I thought that the swelling went down. It's still there. He seems to have some inflammation around the rim of the anus but there's no redness there. Another thing that I noticed is that he is pretty well endowed for a little guy . Does this have anything to do with it? I really love this guy but wifey keeps bugging me about his butt so I told her that I'd ask you guys. Thanks

While I know nothing of carpets and their exact care, I can say that my ambilobe did this when he was coming of age.

It looked exactly the same as your pictures.

It never protruded past what yours has, and went away in maybe a week or so. (memory doesnt serve atm)

My guy also seemed to grow faster in that area when he was "coming of age" I chaulked it up to this, and his body just going through changes.

I have never seen him like that again.

I would be interested if anyone has something else to add.

Thanks for your input. I was also thinking that it may be because of him reaching sexual maturity. His "junk" seems to be big in ratio to the size of the rest of his body. Hope he grows out of it. He also passes big sperm plugs.. Teenage boys haha Horny little bastard He needs to get married!! That'll put an end to it. J/K...
