Ok, THAT was gross!

ok I put in my solid RED male with my orange female last night around 11pm. Not two minutes in the tank he is "creaming" himself. So, I'm thinking ok, thats normal. Then he inverts his hemepenes, as in completely. I have never seen any of my males do that before. I have seen them invert alittle but never prolonged and completely like that. I thought it was a prolapse. So I just misted him real good to make sure nothing dried out. THAT would suck!

A couple days ago I was handling my female crested before I handled my sister's male "babysitting". I really should have washed my hands because her scent must have still been on me because he started licking me and his eyes got big. I knew something was up and I put him down right before he.... relieved himself in a manly way then processed to lick it.

wait till he does it in your hand Eric . My males do it to me every so often when I am cleaning their cages, thankfully though I get them off me before they do…lol. So you are not alone Aisha. I have even had 6+ month old males do it. Easily excited I guess .
