Question about Concerning Poop

[Lolcakes]

Manfrid is a 6 month old Panther, he has the right lighting, water, wire mesh cage and gets fed regularly. His feeders also receive a healthy gut-load and calcium powder before they go into the viv. However, my concern is about his poop as of the past three days. So he has been fed crickets since he got here (little less than two months ago). I decided last week its time to get him treats!! So i went out and bought some large superworms. I feed him a max of two worms a day but usually i only give him one. (don't want him to stop eating the crickets.) As of today i began to grow concerned because i noticed something in his poop or when he goes to poop. Its almost like a superworm husk/shell/outer carapace (I'm hoping that is what it is). Like a small cooked onion? Also today he didn't poop it out all the way with his turds. As i type it is still halfway out and halfway in. My concern is if it is worms or... something else? If it is the superworms husk, is that okay? Will it harm Manfrid? Should i get them softer or smaller?
Please let me know your opinons, so i can get an idea of what to do (as in vet trip?) or what to expect!!
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Laura

That is a sperm plug.

Is it still partially in him. Or is the 2nd pic with it all the way out?

 

[Lolcakes]

Sperm Plug?

Can you tell me about it?

That is a sperm plug. Completely normal. Has nothing to do with the food.

let him do his own thing.
if you see it sticking out one day, sometimes you can pull it out. but you want to be careful, because if the thing sticking out is a prolapse, and you pull, it could be bad.
but usually, you will see them rubbin their vents on branches and thats wahts left.

Sorry! haha SHE asked..

Is there a way to help him pass it? Today he had trouble passing one, the second picture is the part that is out of him but its still in him.
So is this a by weekly thing? Or everday?

Thank you all!!!

 

[camimom]

Welcome!
if he really seems to have issues getting it out. tweezers, gently tug.

or stick his but in some warm water.

 

[JonRich]

I have seen a few people give them warm showers. Or soak their vents in warm water.
