Need pics. most likely to be sperm plugs if clear or yellowish in color. if dark red or black, most likely a prolapse.

They have a second thread with a photo here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/help-urgent-please-119919/
It looks like a sperm plug to me, but I'm a newbie and not comfortable saying one way or the other.

I am also new but it does not look like a sperm plug it looks more like the hemipenes. I do not know how to fix this other than going to the vet. Perhaps someone who is more knowledgeable can tell you what to do or do a search for hemipenes prolapse.

how long has it been there? Also try to keep it damp, if it is a prolapse and hasn't been out long he may still be able to put it back in... a vet visit however may be in order if it's a stuck plug or if it's too dried out/can't pull back inside himself.

First let me be sure on what we are talking about. You are asking about the small dried thing in the middle of his tail correct? The way he is positioned I can't see any other problem. The leg area just looks like red rain color from what I can see.

The small clear/white thing on his tail is a sperm plug. You can try to remove it by pulling gently or just spray it a lot and see if it comes off with his next poop.
