Odd observation, anyone else ever seen?

rainbowsrus Sep 17, 2006 01:24 AM

Was in cleaning cages tonight and my male salmon was dropping a load. I noticed the hemipene on the side facing me was fully extended (could not see the other side), no doubt about him being a male. Anybody else ever seen this?

Hey Dave, never saw that in my snakes but definitely in my big male Tegu! No doubt about his gender.....
