Default Sex please

Is this a male appendage? It is very pale compared to the deep purple of other males I've seen, it also looks odd and I'm sure Astraia had a struggle retracting it....

I'm not sure how far the female bits can come out the cloaca but that's more than I've seen before from photos on here.

Oh sorry haha, it's just it doesn't look right it looks deformed, there is an extra fleshy bit right near the cloaca and its very pale not the usual purple colour, and she/he had a struggle to get it back in, I had to run some cool water over it and stretch the tail so she/he could get it back in.....sorry if anyone is eating their dinner x

That sounds uncomfortable for Astraia.

Soak him in sugar or glucose water, this will help stop swelling and help it go back in.
