Hemipenis stuck out!

suepur Jun 09, 2003 03:37 PM

I put my male leopard gecko in with my female and he bred her right away, but his hemipenis is stuck out. That was yesterday, when I checked him this morning it was still out. I tryed soaking him in water but that did'nt work. Any suggestions or am I off to the vet? Thanks

When that happens, it's called prolapse. This web page has some info on it: http://www.thegeckospot.com/healthindex.html

Try to get him to a vet tomorrow.

keep them clean as possible. I have heard that a little minneral oil helps. More than likely though you are off to the vet.
