Ok, I come home from work and I noticed my veiled cham has this thing protruding out of his anus. At first I thought it was his intestine due to constipation - maybe eating too many crickets at one serving (8 every other day and lack of water) . But then he goes poo and it comes out no problems next to his vent. I tried giving him some water and a shower to keep him hydrated and I notice he can move it as well . Is this his reproductive organ or sperm plug? He is 2 1/2 years old. Here are pics for your review. What should I do?
Identify this part out of his vent?

If he's not pulling it back in it is probaby a prolapse. In which case he needs a vet now. If he pulls it back in, it's probaby his man parts. If it's a prolapse go get some KYjelly or other lube and put it on it to keep it moist, then take him to the vet asap. Some prolapses can be very dangerous, only a vet can put it back in as it needs stitching.

Use KY Jelly to keep it moist and get him to get vets ASAP as Kent said. If you don't already have a chameleon vet maybe this link will help you find one.

Thanks calling a vet and getting an examination done cost $140 and then if they operate to put it back in it costs extra. I am thinking $300 when all is said and done and they don't even take appointments - it's an emergency call ! I tried putting lube on it and trying to push it back and it looks like its going back in but I know he doesn't feel comfortable. I will try put it in sugar water and see if the inflammation goes down and I will try again.

Dont do it yourself! He needs a vet, try to find another one or just go to that one. Drive a few hours if you have to!
