Swollen hemipenile area

HarryS_Potter Nov 30, 2006 01:37 PM

I am trying to find out if anyone else has this issue with their leopard gecko. HarryS.Potter is about 2 1/2 years old, eats and poops well. But he has a swollen hemipenile area. Both areas used to be swollen, but now only one (right side). We do not breed him, he has good sheds, lives on paper towels, has moist hide. It seems to be getting larger, and looking a little "bruised". There is a vet I can take him to, but was wondering if anyone else experienced this.

Can't say I've ever delt with that but I have a similar problem. One of my males...actually my favorite and best breeder...lost one of his. Yours could be a possible infection but that is simply a guess. Hope you can figure it what's wrong and fix it.
