So Have not checked on my tegus for about 36hrs (they live in outside enclosure) and when I did I found the male with this prolapse. It did not look good but I still attempted to soak him in sugar water for about 24 hrs to see if it would reduce. It did not and started to turn dark in color and began to have an odor.
I amputated it with a scalpel and cauterized the edge. Put some tripple antibiotic ointment on. It has been 3 days and he is looking good, sunning, eating. Does not seem to be effected. I'm not sure if this was just one side that prolapsed or is he done as far as reproducing.
