Help please! Does anyone know what this is?

Sorry if this is kinda gross but as my bearded dragon was using the bathroom something was sticking out of her butt. It was red but within about 3 minutes it went back in on its own. I tried to look things up but I can’t find anything. I added a picture so you can see. Thanks

Just a part of the rectal anatomy, if this was a male I'd think it was a hemipene. Sometimes this stuff happens when they push out the poo but as long as it went back in right away it's fine. Be sure to keep her well hydrated and feed veggies.

Ok, thanks!

You're welcome ! If anything like that happens and it doesn't go back in [ a prolapse ] you can soak it in sugar water or apply honey to it. The sugar or honey cause it to shrink it so it can slip back in. If that doesn't work you'll have to keep it moist with honey and take her to a vet.

Ok, I’ll definitely keep that in mind if that were to ever happen

Are you sure your Beardie is female because they sure do look like hemipenes

Well the breeder I got her from said she was a female but I can’t really tell. So it looks like she’s a male? I haven’t had to bring her to the vet so I dont know for sure.

To check the gender, post a couple more pics with the tail arched higher in the air.

Sexing Your Bearded Dragon

Written by Alex Sleeis in 2001 Introduction There are many rumors about how to tell the difference between a male and a female bearded dragon. Many beliefs are based in fact, but are not as absolute as many would have you believe. The myths: Some say that females are smaller than males. Some say...

@AHBD are these good enough?

@AHBD I tried doing where you use a flashlight to check but I can’t tell

Sorry if I missed it, but how old is the beardie? From what I see in your pic, I'd guess female.

A little over a year old

Ok. Pretty sure that's female. Your picture shows the interior structure fairly well, so I think we can make reasonable conclusions from it.

Anyone disagree?
