Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hope somebody can help. While breeding my Panthers my male somehow nicked his penis. It bled for a minute or so and had stopped bleeding before re-traction. He seems fine so far my vet said he probably got nicked by the females claw or an agressive rub on the bendy vine. She advised to monitor him for any changes but could not tell me when I could breed with him again. I have searched the net and found several instances in other reptiles where this has happened but nothing on how long before continuing to breed. Anybody ever experience this?

Although this situation has never happened with any of my chams, I can tell you that you are probably best off just waiting a few weeks before you introduce him to a female. This would allow for ample time for any wound to heal. Just keep a close eye on him and the area and make sure it doesn't get infected, etc. Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. So far he's doing great no signs of swelling or infection. Thanks again

Glad he seems to be fine. I figure the longer you can wait to let him heal up, the better.

Hi Sandrachameleon
Thanks for advise it has been 10 days since the injury and still all looks good - no signs of swelling - all other bodily functions are good - I'm gonna give him another week and see where he's at then
Thanks again
