Sperm Plug in a female?

[Black_Shark]

Hey all,

Well. I have quite the conundrum on my hands. My female 1500g, 3 years old, virgin (popped at least 8 times) just shed. After examining her, I noticed that she had some "gooey" stuff coming from her anal slit. She has done this about a month before this (I have a thread on it) where rich said he bets she is a he. Well, I'm starting to believe him because lo and behold, it happened again.

My roommate popped her again (or tried too) and is pretty sure its a female. But we both have no explanation for the "gooey" stuff. Its not an infection because there is no inflammation, swelling, smell, redness, etc etc. She eats like its going out of style (except in shed), sheds perfectly, has gained 600-700g since September 4th (on a small-medium rat once a week up until Jan and has been on twice a month since). This rules our parasites because if it was parasites, and they were that big and visible, then she would be losing drastic weight along with abnormal poop. Neither of which is occuring. In fact, shes consistently gaining weight and pooping.

We've concluded she's either a big ole male or she takes in some aspen when she eats ( I feed her live and before people jump on me, I watch the rat and hold its teeth with tongs. I'm very careful and have betadine with neosporin at the ready in case of mishap) and then it gets semi-digested and comes out.

I'm kinda leaning towards sperm plugs because it sure looks like sperm (yellowish-white... trust me. it looks like sperm) And I plan on getting her probed by a friend of mine asap.

Until then any ideas?

Setup:

80-82 cold side
91 hot side (Flexwatt controlled by Herpstat PRO)
Humidity: generally in the 50's was just 80+ for the shedding process which was completed this morning
41q tub
Paper towel substrate but generally on Aspen
Hot glue used to secure thermometer probe
