I have a sub-adult male snow bearded dragon and something from his 'area' (butt) is sticking out. It looks like it is part of him and not poo.. Any suggestions...
Please help me...

It might be a rectal or hemipenal prolapse. Either put him in water to soak or wrap the area in a damp paper towel. You can add a bit of table sugar to the water to try and draw excess fluid out of the prolapsed tissue.

If it doesn't resolve on its own in a minute or two, call a vet ASAP. If the blood supply to the tissue gets cut off, a serious infection could set in.
