2y/o female pushing out her rectum?? Uterus?? Pink organ with a protuberance in each side. Is passing stool when soaking, but not as much as usual. Still eating. I’m concerned.
Can you post a photo please?
I’ll try to get one. Usually happens when soaking and getting washed off in sink.
You have a male. They all look female when young. You really can't tell until they are 14-16", except in the case of a male that flashes its penis at a smaller size, like yours.2y/o female pushing out her rectum?? Uterus??

Who told you it was female?
... well... now you know. If the vet can't even tell a male from female...Our vet who specializes in reptiles.
I had a vet tell me that Joe was a female too. Joe was full grown and humping everything in sight... he had the tail and the dent in in his plastron. A tort's penis is a "once seen, never forgotten" experience (Google it @Amelia.Walton and compare with what you see) Needless to say, I picked up Joe and left.It sounds like he’s just playing with his thingy. As long as he brings it back in, he should be fine. I had a reptile vet that told me Dexter was a she, when he was definitely a HE!

Yup, penis, and NOT a prolapse unless it gets stuck in the 'out' position.
