spermplug photo <graphic photo>

Postby LittleFoot » Fri Jul 13, 2007 10:57 am

I took LittleFoot outside with me to check the tortoises and he was walking around their pen <they were inside their burrows hiding> He lifted up his tail and both back legs <looked like some neat Matrix move> and he peed, but then I noticed these two purplish/blue things pop out on either side of his tail and then go back in. Also there were these two whitish stringy things next to the urate. Is that his spermplugs?

Looks amazingly like the sperm plug pictures in the caresheet. Im no expert, but I'd say that they are.. also, they are on either side of the poo and urate, indicating two hemipenes. Plus you can see the difference in the opacity of the urate and the sperm plug.

Zack, you saw how much trouble I was having trying to figure out how to do an avatar, and you want me to try and figure out how to upload to a photo album. That could take me hours :shock: I am so computer illiterate...searching stuff on Google is my most computery thing. :lol:

That's a pretty nice size urate there too!
