: it kinda looks like its in labor, but its not! i only have one anyways... can anyone tell me what that "thing" is??????
: is it normal????? should i take it to a vet????
: jimmy
: ps-i don't know if it is a m/f

My males do this occasionally when soaked in warm water. It doesn't hurt them as long as it goes back inside after they are done soaking. If it stays out of the tail for long periods of time it can dry out and should be taken to a vet.

If you have anymore kleinmanni questions or want to chat about them email me sometime.
