    Colour of old/dried sperm plugs

    Hi, I was just wondering what colour are old sperm plugs left behind in a bp's number two? I have been sold a "female" spider but I found what looks like sperm plugs in her stool. I will try and get some pictures tonight, but they are generally golden/green long strands (two of them) in the stool. Do females leave this type of thing behind? I wouldn't think so.. Thanks

    Re: Colour of old/dried sperm plugs

    There is a fantastic picture of sperm plugs here on this site, unfortunately I have no clue where it is!

    Not sure if they are old or dried up but I do remember them being a yellowish orange in color.

    The surest way to find out the gender would be to pop or probe it.

    Re: Colour of old/dried sperm plugs

    Sperm plugs are never green or yellow.

    They dry up to be a shade of taupe (tan).

    Sometimes they are darker due to blood, but other than that, they should never be any other color.
