I am trying not to get my hopes up. But I can't think of anything else it could be. At first I thought it was just something that got stuck to him while cruising her cage. But as I pulled on it I found that it was actually partially in his "penal cavity" (not sure if males have a cloaca) So is this part of a "love stain?" AKA is this dried sperm that was stuck to him?

Looks like a sperm plug... Don't eat it!

It was in the male though..... Should I take this as a sign of definate copulation?

plugs are a sign that a mature male is producing sperm.. not a sign of copulation..

if you see them locked up or if you find a puddle or some blood that would be a better indication os a successful lock up.

Sorry about that... The good news is your male is ready and the season is young!

Season is dwindling The female shed almost 3 weeks ago... Can she keep going after her next shed?
