Every time my Bearded Dragon poops he ends up with something halfway out of his body. Most of the times is just some poo that comes out with water but sometimes it is something thin, small and semitransparent; the best way I can describe it is like a wide fish bone.
After a short period (10 minutes or so) is gone.

Today I found something new. If I had to guess I would say it's his penis but having never seen it before, I thought I should ask you, the bearded dragon male genitalia experts

Anyway, please look at the photos and let me know what you think.





Thanks! =)

PS: let me just add that while I was writing this the "thing" and "friends" is gone

Hello,

I would speculate that it is a hemipene, however I have never seen one first hand with my dragons.

But aren't hemipenes red/pink?

I would guess an enlarged sperm plug too - i only say that as it looks similar to the waxy plugs on iguanas legs!!!!

Sorry I cn't help ric - hope you manage to solve the mystery soon though

Humm... it's probably a sperm plug like Jade suggested. Found this picture and it's similar to what I saw... I'm going to look in the enclosure to see if it has come off or went back in.

Looks a lot like a plug to me though I have to say that it would be the smallest one I have ever seen. Then again I deal with a much larger lizard.

Yeah, its a dried sperm plug, Dizzy (the iguana) gets them all the time, after a soak in the tub they usually fall out, and if not a gentle tug helps. (by gentle I mean VERY gentle, you wouldn't want to hurt his 'boy parts' )
