Prolapse Help

[Glen the Jackson's]

so my cham was just prolapsing and when i went to go get the number for the vet and came back it had went back in. I misted him after and he drank like usual. Does this still warrant a vet visit???? As I do have work today but would call out if it does. Any input would be appreciated!

Yes. Why was this happening? Was it trying to poop, or lay eggs? I have heard of the males "letting it all hang out" sometimes, too, but it's certainly better to get checked. Worst case scenario, you have a healthy cham vet check.

i honestly have no clue. i went over to feed him and it was all out, then 30 seconds later it was all in and looked completely normal. Do you the vet check can wait until Wed if he stays ok?

update- he just ate a cricket, a super worm and a butter worm lol. i think i am going to go to work and schedule the vet appt. for wed he seems fine now

Is your chameleon a male? Is it possible he was just inverting the hemipene to clear a sperm plug?
