How can I say this, that's his junk. That happen's sometimes.

..well this is awkward

 

[Chris Jury]

Ha, yep, those are his hemipenes, which sometimes end up getting everted when they pass waste. What you saw is normal, especially as males get larger and their hemipenes grow proportionally larger, and is nothing to worry about.

Yep. They are very potent males with a huge ego. Happens to my panther all the time. And worst he loves to poop outside his cage preferrably while crawling over us. Then he wipes off his spermplug and proudly looks into our eyes. He is still very young but loves to show it off. My veiled was more discreet.

Suddenly an egg-laying bin looks more attractive.

Well I have a young Jackson and have yet to see this.....good thing i found out now. Hopefully he can keep it in his pants

 

[Miss Lily]

I have seen Monty's hemipenes a couple of times. One time when my friend was here he had them out when I put him back in his cage, and I was expecting to find poop, but there wasn't any! Think he took a liking to my friend!

 

[Raffi]

Haha. I'm so glad its not like some intestinal issue or something. Glad to know my Jackson is proud of his manliness. Hes def ready to make some baby Jackson babies soon.
