i got ben out of his enclosure when i got home from school, and noticed a brown ...thing protruding from his vent. it doesnt seem to be hurting him or bothering him. i didnt want to touch it, and i tried calling the vet, but of course, it was 6:10, and they close. could this just be a sperm plug passing? i've never encountered one with ben before. even during breeding season, i've never found one of his. i cant get any pictures, as my sister has my web cam and my camera is broken. but it looks like a sperm plug. i looked them up on the forum here and on google.com. halfway up it, it turns a whitish color. any suggestions? i'm having my mom call the vet tomorrow to set an appointment.

It may very well be a plug with some poo stuck on it.

These usually pass on their own. A good soak will help it along. After the soak, if it is still there, then just give a gentle tug.

Yup! That's a sperm plug! It maybe a $15 webcam...but it took a good enough picture to tell what it is.

I had one of those but much thicker and shower from Eki tonight. I believe he's in season, they're all protruding a lot and he's been ransacking his enviroment.

It's a little off-season right now to be flaunting male seasonal issues...but I'm supposing it is happening if you both are ig-speriencing the same thing...;-D
