Thanks Tortoise Forum!!!!
I had a young male tortoise unable to pull his penis back in after breeding. I placed it in warm water and then cool water trying to assist the poor guy. Finally I hit the internet for ideas. Old posts on the tortoise forum talked about packing the penis with white granulated sugar. The sugar will pull the fluid out turning the sugar into a paste, causing the penis to shrink. It worked perfectly! He was back to normal in 5-10 min!!
I will post pics of the pre sugar state. I should have taken a pic of the smile on his face after his penis was saved!
Just wanted to pass this along in case it helps anyone else in this predicament.
