Hello Becca. Great question! I suspect he has seminal plugs. It would be best if you could take him to a reptile vet for an exam as I'm only guessing as to what the problem may be but I'm fairly confident this is the issue. Sometimes you can call a local exotics shop and the staff there may be able to help you get the plugs out. I don't think the Petsmart staff is trained well enough to help you with this so I don't recommend you take him there. These two exotic vets are within about 20 minutes of your zip code.
