Constipation can cause a prolapse,due to th pushing.

It's ok. Just let him sit in the water. Can you get to a vet tomorrow?

Let him sit,I re-read your posts and you said he is straining and a little bit come out every so often,it is starting to sound like a blockage of some sort.

I am forsure going to go to a vet. I'm going to call them early. Should I attach a heat mat and leave him in it all night? It's not diarea but it's soft.

A heat mat could warm him up to much,if he has no place to cool, use a light so he can cool off if needed.

A little update for everyone. He had a little surgery he's all put back now. The vet will prescribe medicines for parasites as well as pain killers. The vet believes he maybe mating way to much. But the parasite is from long ago but is now starting to act up

I have cameras in all my reptile cages so I can see if anything goes wrong may sound weird but I love my guys wanna keep them happy. I constantly watch them with my own eyes they are in my wreck room/bedroom so I see them a lot. Thanks for everyone's help.

Mating too much......You said he is with 5 females? So you may have some eggs coming up, and then hatchling.... That may compensate some vet bill he caused. Best wishes for him and your compensation......Hahaha!!

3 females. I hope there are eggs coming trying my best to get the conditions right. So he's back in my care now and will have to lay off the mating for a while. I have to give him needles sucks a lot.
