If there is something staying out, that is definitely abnormal and should be seen by a vet right away. It could be a prolapse of an organ like a hemipene, or worse his colon. If it's something pink and fleshy, you need to keep it moist and get to a vet ASAP, this is an emergency. That tissue has to be replaced before it dries out or dies. Can you give us more information or post a picture? Where are you and maybe we can help you find a vet.

Can you post a pic? Is he in breeding season? Could be his hemipenes. I think someone said they could expose certain organs that way as well? But a pic would help greatly, if not a little more detail as in size, shape, color, texture, etc. Could also be the remains of something he ate; what does his diet consist of?
