If the hemipenes have not yet been retracted, you may have to take him to the vet to have them reinserted. If this is the case, make a paste of sugar and water and put it on the hemipenes so that they don't dry out.



Hindsight is always 20/20, but this is why you should never interrupt mating.



>>The male was biting the female and was on top of her, hence I think they were mating and I so rudely interrupted. How long should I expect it to take for the hemipenes to return to its rightful place?
