5. This is a video of a male black throat monitor who's hemipenes comes out while pooping. It looks the same with a male Tegu. They have one hemipenes on each side of the Vent coming out while pooping. If you see some white strings coming out of the hemipenes don't be worried. Those are spurm plugs.
