My little Bubbles

[Bubbles]

I need help and advice!
I just went to my chameleon to check on him and saw this (in picture). What is that and how do I help him? He doesnt seem like he is in pain and it is out since about 30min. What do I do? I cant sleep in peace knowing this might hurt him..

Not an expert with that area but that's either a hempimene or a sperm plug, a more experienced member will give you insight on that. Although, can you find the how to ask for help sticky under health clinic and copy and paste it with your husbandry info.

It is a hemipenes prolapse WITH a sperm plug.

If the red thing doesn't go back in, I'm sure someone else can help you.

Poor Bubbles. You need to get him to the vets right away. This is how I handle prolapse: Soak in cold water with as much sugar dissolved in the water as you can get. Soak 5 minutes and take out for 5 minutes and apply KY Jelly, then soak 5 more minutes and then apply KY. Continue to do this until either he pulls it back in or you get him to the vet. If he doesn't pull it back in on his own he will probably need it amputated. You can try to help him get it back in after you have soaked it for awhile and the vet will try to get it back in. If it's been out for awhile the chances of him or the vet getting it back in are slim and he'll probably need it amputated. Most do just fine after the amputation.
