Blood puddle from sulcatas

[murdocjunior]

Can someone please tell me what this is? I believe its some sort of miscarriage, it came from my 2 sulcata adults i couldnt tell if its from my female or male, but it looks like its from the males penis or females vagina can someone please help me? I dont see any blood coming out just the puddle and a little in their areas, thank you

Hope it's nothing bad. Just noticed i'm right down the road from you.

I think that is from a male penis injury. If he is your only male, you will now see your fertility go down, down, down. Don't know if they eventually heal and recover or not.

 

[murdocjunior]

Yes hes my only adult male hope he will be ok

 

[Blakem]

I hope your guy is okay! Keep us posted please.

 

[Tom]

He should be fine. It would be wise to separate him from the females to give his equipment a rest. If you don't, you will keep seeing blood pools like that with increasing frequency.

Sorry to bring you bad news, but at least you know what it is...

[murdocjunior]

A male penis injury? Do we need the qualifier I mean females don't get female penis injuries do they? Ok it hurts me to just type those word, I feel bad for the big guy, I wonder what he was doing to receive such an injury.

 

[ahhwataday]

This whole thread leaves me speechless

 

[shellysmom]

Wow. That looks awful. Hope he's okay, poor thing...

 

[mainey34]

I sure hope he recovers. I hope it doesn't affect his breeding

 

[murdocjunior]

Thanks for yalls consurns but i know figured out its coming from
The females vagina area.

 

[Baoh]

If it is still bleeding, take her to the vet in case the bleeding will not stop on its own or if there is a bowel perforation that requires immediate attention.

 

[shellysmom]

Oh, good lord, yes please take her to the vet if you can... Yikes!!

 

[murdocjunior]

Yes she is fine now i just Didnt know what was wrong with her i never experienced that in my life

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Yes she is fine now i just Didnt know what was wrong with her i never experienced that in my life

I have never seen that either!

 

[Tom]

Are you sure the the female does not have some residual blood from the male rubbing his damaged organ around that area? I have seen that before too.

Whichever tortoise it's coming from, I wish you luck and a speedy recovery.

More than likely the Female tore off one if his hemipenes......I've seen this happen with many Reptiles, and that is why they have more than one.......Some Males are still functional afterwards, some are not.......This actually is not that uncommon in the Reptile world.......
