the prob is the female decided it may have been a cricket and tried to stick her tounge to it
now it wont go back in and we are a little worried as it seems damaged Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until you can get him to a vet, keep the areas that are sticking out that shouldn't be out moist and clean....K-Y jelly or saline solution would be fine to use. Do not use vaseline. If the area becomes dried out it will die and have to be amputated.
Here's a site that will give you more information on how to deal with it...

Hi there,
Thank you for your help it as now gone back in, we were keeping it moist so it didn't dry out. Does anyone know what it could be?

You said..."Does anyone know what it could be?"...do you mean what was hanging out or why it was hanging out?
