    Is this a hemipene shed?
    My male shed a few weeks back and was all clear except some dry shed stuck around his spurs. I was unable to remove it after holding a wet towel against it for awhile so I decided not to mess around in such a delicate area and left him alone. I found this in the enclosure today and it looks like his hemipene sheds? I can't find much info online on what they should look like. I took him out to check his cloacal area and everything looked fine and normal.

    I found these images on Google:

    Looks to me like the sheds from both hemipenes stuck together while the sheds were still wet, perhaps with a little blood that turned brown.

    Yes, it is. In fact, I once had my snake shed his hemipenes in the processes of peeing and having a bowel movement ON ME in retaliation for giving him a soak. Even after taking off my snake-soiled clothes it took forever to get that smell off my skin...
