What is this......

[Wil]

This was coming out of the cloaca of one of my reds. Does anyone know what it is?

 

[Bubblz Calhoun]

My first thought was parasite, some kind of worm. If it actually came out I would put in a container or ziploc bag and take it to a vet to find out exactly what it is.

I hope it's okay and something that's easily fixed.

 

[Rhetoric]

I thought parasite too, but I've never seen that before. I hope everything ends up alright. Keep us posted!

 

[RamblinRose]

I wont tell. : )

 

[omgtaylorg]

That red looks extremely skinny too, could be a parasite...

Definitely looks like some sort of parasitic worm. I first thought tapeworm but when I googled it all the images I found showed worms that're segmented which I'm not seeing on this one. With such a good picture I bet you could get a definitive answer if you post around a bit more.

Is it a female? Oviduct and infundibulum pop into my mind. It looks more like pink tissue and definitely has a strong longitudinal blood supply with branching vessels as well. It also looks like some mysentery type tissue, too. Did she lay recently?

Hi wil. OMG. I hope that all will turn out well. I have never seen anything like this before. If it would of been shorter I would think it's a sperm plug. But I'm clueless on this one. Please keep us posted and good luck with everything. I would take him/her to the vet as soon as you can.

Jesus Christ. Take that tegu to a vet immediately! and bring the pictures.

 

[monstruo-the-tegu]

:O mother of gawd that looks like a tapeworm

 

[laurarfl]

It's not a tapeworm. Tapeworms are segmented flatworms.

 

[JohnMatthew]

It's not a tapeworm. Tapeworms are segmented flatworms.

I noticed that segmented bit when I was searching images. Whatever it is, a reptile vet could probably identify pretty quick.

 

[Wil]

I will post what it is after I get back home, hopefully tomorrow.

 

[RamblinRose]

Have a safe trip home Wil.

 

[reptastic]

[RamblinRose]

Well........ kinda

Just a guessing game

 

[Wil]

Any other guesses??

 

[james.w]

Just spill the beans.

 

[txrepgirl]

O man . I was hoping to come on here and find out what it is. Please let us know either you wil or you Rose.

Proplapse? Or honestly it looks like an earthworm that didn't get digested.
