    Is there a way to check for sperm plugs..

    ...if you're not sure if a male's producing them yet? He has gone into blue now; I know that with my other male, I saw spermy plugs on one of his sheds.. maybe I should watch for that? Are they visible if you look near the vent area (I haven't seen anything thus far.)
    Also, does anyone know how often they produce spermies? Meaning, if it does come off with the shed, when will more be there? Thanks for answering my 1000 questions

    You can pop out sperm plugs just like you are popping to sex him, using the same exact method. Sometimes you'll get the hemipenes to evert too, but you can get plugs without the 'penes coming out.
