Yes usually beardies get sperm plugs during mating season and while the do usually come out on its own when they poop they can get stuck and harden up so it looks like that. When it does a little soak and gentle pull with the tweezers usually does the trick
Hoping they come out on their own. lol Dex's has been pretty easy to co-exist with so I'm hoping he'll continue his trend and take care of it himself. hahahaha

Our male beardie looks like it has poop stuck, rather than sperm plugs. Here are pictures. Does anyone think this is a sperm plug for our bearded dragon? It's been there for a few days and after having a bath each day. It's not coming off with a Qtip even after soaking in the bath.

Never mind. Mystery solved. Two very large sperm plugs. Poor thing

Thanks. Mystery solved - there were 2 very large sperm plugs. Had to remove them the same way as in the video above - no q tip, and very gently. Not pleasant but much better than letting him get an infection.
