Sperm plug question.

Postby Dakota » Fri Mar 29, 2013 9:44 am

Okay, so when I hold my skinks they poop and pee. (I'm used to it, since they are new) This morning when I was holding Xaunder, he just peed, but it came out the milky substance. Unlike, anything I have noticed before.. it wasn't "gooey", like you see picture of, really liquidy and milky. Could it be sperm? or just ususal color of pee, that I have never noticed. No hemipenes came out (that I know of)

Since we're on the subject poop is brown with a small white portion from what I've observed. Does the sperm plug come with urination or a bowel movement? Or either?

They can come just about anytime. Sometimes all by themselves. They are not just milky liquid though. More like a gooey thing you could pick up and dangle if you were so inclined. Don't do that though. That would be gross.

If he is wanting to breed, it seems that the vast majority of nice Meraukes are males for some reason. It's somewhat difficult to find a pretty Merauke lady, so I was mostly joking but if you have 2 unsexed Meraukes I'd definitely be hoping NOT to see sperm plugs. :lol:

Haha, thanks.. I'm guessing/hoping I have a female, she is built smaller as in head/throat/ect. BUT as I know, it is almost impossible, ha.

Head size has nothing to do with sex. My female merauke has the largest or second largest head of my 7.
