Sperm Pluge's visible on my male leo. any help??
I noticed this morning when i took my male leo out to hold him that his sperm pluge's were visible and were sticking out of his vent slightly ,they still are sticking out now some 12 hours later, they come out about 1mm or abit more but have gone down sinse this morning, ive never noticed this before and have been worried about the matter, i know that males do clean them out but i'm not sure weather it is to do with that or maybe he has mated with one of the females. he has been sitting in the shed box alot more than what he usally does and he hasnt shed in a while so maybe its something to do with his shedding im not sure at all just hope someone can clear this matter up for me i will try get some photos tomorrow if that helps, any help please thanks all

I would soak him in warm water and they may loosen them up so they can pass as usual, or it may soften them up enough to go back in, whichever they prefer to do:)

I think that it is just something that happens. Perhaps he got excited over something and that got things moving.

This happens to my male when he gets "rejected" by my females, I think it may be because he hasn't mated and he got a bit too excited If it is still sticking out, take a picture and we can look into it further

the sperm plugs or pene plugs can usually be easily removed by gently pulling on them with tweezers just becareful not to pull to hard and get his hemi-penes stuck out. I have to do it every few weeks to a fat tail gecko male of mine
