do you know what the little red/pink thing that sometimes comes outa a monitor/ackies 'rear end' is? Ben at Ben Siegel reptiles told me that its probably just him trying to go to the bathroom. Someone else said that his baby ackies did that and started 'crashing' what ever that means, im guessing its not good tho, any idea??? thankssssssssss oh and how in the he11 do i post a picture? ha

The small pink thing that comes out of his vent is either a hemipenis (If male) or a hemiclitoris (If female). Nothing to worry about at all.. Most monitors naturally evert when going to the bathroom or scent marking territory.
