Hi all,
Hi I'm Jess and I've got a 4 year old Hermann's tortoise called Wellington who I'm pretty sure is male as he's been flashing during baths and mounting plant pots etc. This morning I noticed his penis was fully out and he's being vocal with sqeaks. Once I picked him up to have a look and check everything was ok he retracted it. I was just hoping for some reassurance that this is normal, I was slightly shocked because there was a lot more than he's shown during baths before, and that there is no need to take him to a vet? Attaching pictures for reference.
