Hi so my bearded dragon, Rumple, is about a little over a year old and we noticed this thing sticking out of his butt after his bath earlier in the evening;;
I believe it to be his sperm plug, but I'm not too sure and I'm worried that something might be wrong with him that is life threatening and such. I just want to make sure my baby is okay and what I should do next.
He is a very very healthy boy who eats almost every single day, a healthy mix of crickets and meal worms, and eats his veggies every single day with calcium when needed and proper bulbs and such and is often cared for and handled as he should be. I just want to make sure and certain that he is okay and what not.
Yes, they are sperm plugs, 2 of them. You can try to put him in a warm bath and while he's in the water try wiping them away with a washcloth, and if that doesn't do it you can actually try pulling them out while in the water, it won't hurt him, but sometimes they are stuck fairly well and it takes a while to get them out. I usually just put my guy in a warm bath and pull them out, he doesn't even know I'm doing anything back there when I do it, lol. Completely normal.
