Well I checked on him a month ago and seen his butt looknig a litle weird ( at first I though might been from him going off feed for 3 weeks. and the difference ( well he been eating again since then. and it looks like it not gonigo down but might of gotten larger. I thinking and leaning to that his hemipeni (s) might have an infection from were I used( at that time a dustier aspen and particals) might gotten pull back in and causing this. I Know I need a vet but my localy( closest) vet is on vaction and othe other one for lower/mid de seemes to have stopped dealing with reptiles. I was going to get him on the baytril to start fighting the Gessing infection to get the swellnig down so I can pop hime and rinse the toys off( or get some help to do so ) so Ican make sure it all alright sadly noone close enough to swing by. I workingon getting the funds for the one vet once he get back from vac( just spent money on supplies so I gotto wait for the 13th for vet and one person to pay for a pc job.( so postto be tomorrow) I was wondering if anyone got any ideals on what i can do until such time, he not uncomfortable that I can tell eats, craps and will alt me poke at it ( why looks little red I was trying to see if i could pop him to seeif i find more aspen there again) sorry pic low qultiy I had my cell only this morning my digital not working.

Re: weird looking butt on pastel and questions in regards to it
That looks exactly like what my Mojave had - he had a prolapsed hemipene that retracted back in - and then months down the road he formed this lump that continued to grow and grow - I was told it was nothing, not to worry but have months of worrying about it I took him the vet - it was infected with abbsess pockets of infection - they had to do surgery on my little guy but his was much further along than yours. I would definitely follow up with a vet to avoid having to have surgery.
My little guy is doing great since his surgery - thank god.
Good luck with your situation.
