I was fixing my cresteds food and had him with me, I do think he is under weight he is probably about 4 months old. But besides that, He lifted his tail to pooh and just this white fluidy stuff came out and some redish things too, but they went back insideand it looked like he was trying to clean himself but couldnt reach.He did leave some white secretion on the table where he was. Any ideas?

I had a totally unrelated experience the other day, with an unidentified protrusion, and this pic was posted by someone to try and rule out the incident just being the hemipene

that should answer a lot, even though it is mostly about iguana

When your gecko everted his hemipene and a white fluid came out, that was ejaculate. Sometimes it is necessary for the males to get rid of seminal fluid as part of a natural cleansing process. The hemipenes are two copulatory organs that most reptiles have that are everted during mating. If the hemipene remains everted, it is called prolapsed hemipene and medical attention should be sought.
