My beardie, Roma, is about 5.5 months old. He acts normal, is very energetic, eats a lot, poops regularly, etc.
His poops seem okay and everything looks digested. His basking temp is around 110F and cool side is 80F. His UVB is a reptisun 10.0 T5 HO that’s about 4 months old plus we live in Florida and go out for real sun 3-4 days per week.
Lately when he poops, I see some reddish tissue come out of the vent. It has gone back in each time but I’m sure it can’t be normal for this to happen every time he poops. I never saw this with my first beardie, Fuji.
He has a vet appointment tomorrow to get an exam and fecal (dropped off the poop Saturday actually so I should be getting results hopefully). Unfortunately, I can’t be at the exam because I have to take a grad school midterm but I’ve known this vet for awhile now and am confident that my beardie is in good hands.
In the meantime, I would appreciate any feedback about this issue. Is it abnormal as I believe? Does it look like intestine? Hemipene? Or what?
Here is a video of him pooping which is very gross and graphic. Only click the link if you’re okay with beardie poop and a small amount of red tissue being exposed.

I greatly appreciate any input!
