HELP!! Something hanging out of cloaca!!

[chamlover!]

I have a 5 year old male veiled Cham who has been very healthy otherwise. Does anybody know what this is? It has been sticking out for about a day and a half and is very hard to the touch. I’ve tried heavy misting throughout the day to soften it. All advice appreciated!

Sperm plug??

Yes, that’s what it looks like to me. A Jackson’s I had many years ago had a sperm plug and I gently just took it off no problem. I’m not sure what you should do.

Yes, it does look like a sperm plug to me. If it were a prolapse, I believe it would have initially been red and have turned black by now. You could moisten a q tip and gently try to move/remove it.

Spermplug/ shed. I have to use tweezers most of the time, as they are pretty long since they run the length of the inverted penis.

Here is what the rest of the iceberg looks like

Looks like a sperm plug to me. But It is very dried out so that may not feel great if you try to remove it on its own. Might consider taking him to the vet for it if your at all worried about trying to do it yourself.
