My camera was done charging so I went to go take pictures of my babies because they were all out and I noticed my male (zeus) licking at the base of his tail....then i noticed that something looked VERY wrong!

He is housed with three females and they all get along, i never see them fight or act agressive towards each other. There are three hides in the tank and he pretty much owns one of them...I dont know what happened and im soooo scared!

Here are a couple pictures...

Im freakin out I dont know what to do....

umm....I just picked him up again, and now it looks like nothing happend? Should I isolate him....or was that something that they do???

He had just gotten done breeding with one of the females.....his hemipenis was still out. That is normal. When they don't go back in, it's called a prolapse, which does sometimes happen. If it went right back in, you don't need to worry. Usually they stay out for a few minutes after breeding and the male licks and cleans himself and it retracts.

OMG I LOVE YOU! thank you SO much. Ok well...i feel better now. Well...i guess i can be expecting babies in the future. Thank you so much though. Ive read all about breeding leopard geckos and NEVER came across that, It really freaked me out when I saw it.

I have had to wait a good 5 weeks before I got eggs from one of my females. Then again I think she made me wait on purpose lol. This is a good time to get an incubator and get it set up.

yes ill defenitly be doing that either this weekend or next weekend. I must say that I LOVE this site. Everyone here is so nice and I can get on and know that somebody will have some good advise! I love you all, and love lookin at everyone's pics of their babies.

Thats cool. I have a few pics and tommorow I will be doing an update list on 5 or so. 4 will be my own hatchlings and then a couple update pics of other leopards I have.

Yes, this site is absolutely WONDERFUL! I've learned so much from the awesome people on here! I'm just so glad I could return the favor and help someone else out! I know it's reallly freaky when something like that happens and you don't know what's going on. The first time I put a breeding pair together, one of my males got a prolapsed hemipenis.....I was really freaked out. Everyone on here was great and helped me through it.
