What does a sperm plug look like when dried?

I found like clear yellowish crusty stuff nearby my 1 year old skink’s poop, at first I thought it could be melted plastic but the heat lamp is caged and the fake plants aren’t near it, could it be a dried up sperm plug? He’s also displaying restlessness and seems disinterested with food which is unusual of him.

Sperm plugs when dried practically disappear, some leave a whitish translucent looking stringy thing with a glob at the end but not yellowish.
