Sperm plugs?

[JP94]

Hey all,

I found something like these in the enclosure of my until now assumed female Merauke BTS a couple of times, only this time she didn't slide over them before I could take a closer look.

Are these sperm plugs or feces which just happen to look similar?

Thanks in advance

How old is your BTS?
I keep telling Ventress he needs to hurry up and give me evidence that he's a boy haha.

He's around 15 months old.
It's so weird to write "he" instead of "she".

Oh right okay, so when did he start...depositing these?
haha yeh I keep wondering if Ventress is actually a girl could I get used to it, but no, he will always be a he to me I think.

I know that feeling, I'm struggling with referring to my Biku as a him.
Bodywise he looks like a female, slim head, shorter tail, rounder body, etc. But there are androgynous men so why not have andogynous skinks.

He started dropping them about 2 months ago.

Haha yep! Takes some getting used to. But also great to get a confirmation!

It's super interesting how age seems to vary so much.. so for us Maya was around 4-5 months old when we saw his first. But then others can be over the year mark.. wonder what influences it!

Also a question on the subject - how often do you guys see the sperm plugs? As since the first day it happened, we see them every day (which feels strange as I read that sperm plugs are found 'occasionally'), think it's from feeding frequency of a juvenile vs adult?
