Is this a prolapse?

Hi, all -- my baby pooped in the bath today and strained at the end, pushing out a tiny bit of blood. I inspected his vent area and found this:

I'm not sure what the small, white crescent-shaped thing poking out of his vent is. It's soft and he doesn't seem to react abnormally to it being touched (he doesn't like it much like he doesn't generally like having his tail lifted up and his butt touched). Is this normal or is this a prolapse?

It doesn't look like any internal tissue is sticking out, so that's good. If he was straining a bit, it may be some pressure on the skin around the vent. It could possibly turn into a prolapse if he keep straining. I'd offer plenty of water and some softer foods for a while to make things a bit easier for him.

Like Cooper said, looks fine. It may be just the tip of a sperm plug which is normal in males.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
