Crickets as a staple and throw in some silk worms and horn worms everyone once in a while. (Fed horn worms yesterday) sorry for asking so much but I'm sure you know how it is when you get worried. Thanks for the responce.

That looks like a sperm plug. Keeping it moist will keep is soft and it will pass on it's own. No need to worry

I just noticed it today. How long does it usually take to pass? I think I'm gonna give him a shower tomorrow cause he hasn't had one in a while anyways.

It will probably come out with his next poop

Ok thank you for the help

That's a sperm plug? @Nursemaia

Impaction is when they can't poop and I wouldn't expect anything to be coming out if they were impacted. That looks like a sperm plug to me because is kinda clear and shiny looking. If it was a little bit of impacted poop coming out I would expect it to be very dark and hard looking.

We all worry about anything showing up where it should not be with out chams. How old is you boy? Lots of times you will start to see sperm plugs an a Cham matures. They are only gross when they are dried and you have to remove them, ( gently pull until you get it out) or when they wipe it on your are UGH!! Lots of us have had the kind of fun, NOT. See all the fun you have to look forwar too? Lol

Looks like Skittles dropped it by himself today. He is a little over a year old but I had never seen that from either of my chams. I'll attach a pic just to make sure it's nothing bad.

 

[Nursemaia]

That is definitely a sperm plug

Yes you do have things to look forward to
