OK so yesterday I made a new rock set up for Dude with a ramp and bubbles and so on.Well he wouldnt go on his rock to bask at all after I made the change in the tank which is unlike him so last night I snuck down to look into his tank to see if he was basking and I found him in the water at the bottom of the tank with this huge black snail like looking thing coming out of his hole ( from his butt....lol ) I turned the other light on to get a better look and it went inside him. I have NEVER seen anything like it, NASTY!!!!!! Any ideas?????

Occasional Prolapses is nothing to worry.

You have a male and what you witnessed was his sexual organ. No prolapse.
