Hello! Today, my BTS was peeing and after he dropped a urate, he kept pushing and I heard him wheeze. It looked like he was pushing really hard but he dropped what might be a sperm plug (image attached). I was concerned about the wheezing, but afterwards he was running around just fine and making no noises. Do skinks sometimes make wheezing noises when pushing out a sperm plug and is this a sperm plug?

Looks like it. As long as he is acting well, he should be okay.

Re: Sperm plug?
My male skink wheezes sometimes when he poops, so it’s not exclusive to sperm plugs. I was concerned at first too but his poops are healthy so I just assumed it’s normal, he’s been doing it for years now and no problems so far. Might be a male skink thing who knows, I have 2 others currently unsexed (one could be a female though) and they never wheezed when they poop.

Re: Sperm plug?
For some reason, most of my males like to make some sort of noise when they use the bathroom....boys will be boys...and that does look like a sperm plug although cannot confirm as I can't see it in it's entirety. Pretty sure it is, though.
