First, a picture would help but it sounds like a vet is needed.
Second, how exactly did you put him with a female "unknowingly"?

What sort of enclosure is he in? What heat source? Thermostat? Bedding? Was there a rodent in the enclosure? Is he fed live or FT?

Pictures are needed. To begin with, he should be in a clean, sanitized enclosure with just paper towels or plain newspaper after you rinse off the wound. this should help keep it clean until you can get it treated.

Yeah that's a prolapse. He needs to see a vet asap, keep him on damp clean paper towels until then.
