:::Sounds like your male is actually a female! :) Thick Orangy deposits in the urates indicate this.
:::I thought my iggy was a male until she laid 30 eggs! The symptoms you describe are usually indicative of a female being gravid, in which case she'll either lay or reabsorb the eggs.

::::When Godzilla is in his season he becomes much more brown/orange, he does not eat as much as he uses to eat, and a yellow/orange slim appears in his urine.I read that the season can last until 3 months once a year.Last time Godzilla had his season he wanted to mate my blue tongue skink!!
::::I dont know what is this seminal plug either.About semipenes I THINK I saw then when Thorn was ...pooping a few days ago.

::::I ve ne seen this ver :I asked a few questions when Goliath went into breeding season for the 1st time. But i knew it was breeding season because he was ...uh..."playing" with my pillow, if u know what i'm saying,lol. But Goliath barely ate at all for about a month. But i dont think i know what a seminal(sp/) plug is either. He went into breeding season about May/June and lasted until early/mid July. But i think it just depends on where u or your ig is from for when it will go through breeding season. I hope this helps in some way but, doubt it will :( Oh yeah the hemipenes(sp?) will be swollen at the base of the tail. You can tell bye looking right below the vent and seeing 2 long bumps underneath the base of the tail...I rambled a little, if u didnt understand i'm sure someone else will post GOOD info.lol
