HELP?!

[Nursemaia]

It's scary when it happens. I was scared when I saw my 1st one.
Since it went back in, I wouldn't be overly worried.

Yes it is. One hemipenis can come out at a time.

Please ignore me saying "hemipene". I feel dumb

I flipped out, maybe there were two and I just was too crazy to notice. I'm glad you think it's not a huge issue.

Thank you everyone for your quick responses

You're not dumb. Hemipenis is singular and plural is hemipenes

You can also use real honey, not the cheap stuff from the grocery store. Apply it to the prolapse and it will reduce swelling and help prevent infection. The reduction in swelling may even help it go back in

Nursemaia knows what she is talking about! Raw, real honey is the best!

As stated, this was a single everted hemipenis. Males will evert one or both occasionally outside of breeding, and as long as they retract it, it is not a problem.

Just out of curiosity, do you know why this happens? Is it the chameleon being relaxed or perhaps stimulated in some way?

It can be diet related like hard shell feeders causing straining to poop,or heavy infested parasite,constipated, either due to dehydration, impaction due to a foreign object...etc

Tell him to put a book in front of it and hope the teacher doesn't call him to the front of the class

That would look strange... he doesn't like reading
