Ron,
I've never had this happen with my animals so I'm hesitant to reply. I was
hoping someone with more experience in this subject would reply. The usual
treatment I've heard about is a soaking in a sugar or salt solution. Via
osmosis the water in the hemipenes leaves and shrinks the hemipenes so that
it can be slipped back into the body. Here's a link with info for iguanas,
but it's the same for geckos and even birds.

Of course, I should add the usual advice to consult a vet.
good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi,
? I just received a male Leopard gecko and I noticed his hemipenal area is
kind of purplish and swollen on one side, there also apears to be something
(his hemipenis?) barely sticking out. Any clues to his problem?
