Is this something to be worried about?

[ThomasFord]

so i was feeding my chameleon when i saw a almost microscopic like twig thing coming from his butt. here is a pic

What should i do, hes kind of cage aggressive so do i try to help him out and pull it out for him. Or just leave it. Is it something i should be worried about? I don't think its a prolapse but i want to be sure its nothing. If so ill get him to a vet. if you guys need a better look i will get another pic.

He is not even 1 year old yet.
He is a male ambilobe panther chameleon.
He has a nice umbrella tree to climb on.

If any information. It would be much appreciated if you shared.

I'd leave it be and keep an eye on as long as its not moving I think it will be fine most likely dried poop but I will admit I have been wrong.

If he is 7 months or over he is likely to have a sperm plug. Pull it out with a pair of tweezers like I did in the past few days with mine. They can naturally pass them but I tend to pull them out just in case

oh cool ill try it, does that mean he is sexually mature to mate?

Yeah, my male sambava just did the same

I would not pull on it, if anything would be increasing misting to ensure the area doesn't dry out. Sperm plug or some stuck fecal will pass within hours, if it's still there in a day or so may be a bigger issue.

I only pulled it out cos mine dried out whilst inside him and was stuck so I asked my local advisor and he said to remove it

so do sperm plugs mean that they're sexually mature to mate

Def looks like the end of a dried up sperm plug. No worries. You can try to pull it out. There will prob be more when you pull it out.
