Hi there!
I have a 6 year old Leopard and was lead to believe that she was a female. Twice this week when she has passed a stool I have noticed something pink coming from her tail that I've never seen before. When I googled it, everyone seemed to think that it was my tort flashing a penis?! OR a prolapse? It doesn't matter to me either way male or female but can anyone help please?
Thanks
P.S I will try to post some pics of the shell/tail for you to help determine the sex

Hi,

We are pretty much 100% sure that Speedy (a 4 year old Russian) is a boy, but I was wondering about something. Every time he excretes, something that looks like a pinky/brown, slippery poo half comes out and then shoots back in. I used to think is was just tomorrows poo that wasn't ready yet (I know, I've learnt a lot recently!) but now I am sure it is 'flashing'. Is he old enough? Is it prolapse?

I would really appreciate ANY ideas as I am worried it could be a problem.

Thanks!
