Hello everyone. To cut to the chase my mom sent me this photo of her beardie and is horribly worried something is wrong. To me it looks like intestine but hopefully not. Photo is a little hard to look at but please give feedback she can try to find a vet immediately if needed!

It looks like a sperm plug --- I will have AHBD take a look and she can advise --

Yeah that's a sperm plug, pretty common in males and no problem sat all. It will probably fall out on it's own or after a few days you can give a warm bath and pull it out gently + slowly.

If you pull it out be exceedingly careful, he can be injured it it's pulled hard or roughly.

Hello,

I agree, a sperm plug & it is very common for this to happen. As AHBD suggested, soaking him in a nice warm bath & it will most likely work itself out eventually.

Oh goodness thank you! I will definitely advise my mom to give him some nice warm baths! He definitely needed one considering before that photo he pooped on himself. Everyone on here has been exceedingly helpful and I’m very grateful for every reply! Thanks!

Hello,

How is your boy doing tonight, did he get a nice warm bath?
