:shock: Holy cow! Are those 'worms' moving??

Regardless of what they are, I would highly recommend a vet visit. And whatever you do, DO NOT pull on them!

Hello,

Did you make it to the vet?
That doesn't look like worms to me, really. It looks like a possible hardened sperm/seminal plug or maybe a urate plug.
You can try soaking him to see if they soften up enough to come out with a stool possibly.

Hello,

Definitely let us know how it goes! I honestly think that it will be a sperm/seminal type of plug or a urate plug, but I am leaning more to a sperm/seminal plug. It should work itself out or maybe the vet can manually help him out too. I hope it goes well.

i know we all looked at the 'plug/worm' but that foot looks necrotic and also needs to be seen to.

Not just the vent is pink, do you have a heat rock in the enclouser? i think he is burned too. Wich would also explain why his foot is ****ed up.

That is 1 unhealthy dragon.
What I see just from the picture is a dehydrated animal with either a burned or nacrotic foot.
The femoral pores are clogged and that does look like a seminal plug that has dried out.
I just learned of clogged femoral pores myself and ive been doing this for some time.
I hope the vet is a good one.
Keep us posted and good luck.
