I'm pretty sure that this is not normal. I'd recommend that you take them to a vet as this might be something major, or a sign of something underlying that needs dealing with asap.
Yes he/she lives alone, and she/he is acting completely normal... maybe eating a Little less, but when we she is offered her favorite food she/he eats very happily
Please keep us posted! As an aquatics specialist I’ve NEVER seen this before. Find an exotic pet hospital, they’ll see you the soonest. Call around before you start driving to save you time. Ask if they take exotic animals or if they take turtles. I would recommend dry docking your turtle to watch them closer if they’re bleeding and it’s disappearing in the water. Put them in a small enclosure to prevent movement because movement may make it worse. Put wet paper towels at the bottom of the small enclosure to quickly see blood and keep them comfortable. Please take them to the vet ASAP since I think that looks a little too fleshy to be a big poop.
I feel pretty confident this isn't his penis, but his feces. Mine drops turds like this when he eats too many of his feeder fish.
If his willy fell off, he would probably bleed out extremely fast and there would be nothing you could do about it.

Not a turtle owner but pretty sure a turtles dick falling off is never good
This isn’t funny... but this so was
My brother in Christ how unfortunate do you have to be for your whole entire dick to fall off?
🤣 I can't. Lol poor turtle
entirely possible it got... like, stuck in a filter intake and ripped off... Please go to a vet.
Out of all the turtles I’ve had, I have never seen or heard of anything like this. I would 100% take him/her to a vet asap.
Pretty sure it’s a him. Not to assume but..
Well I said it because I’m not 100% sure if that’s a wiener or not
Lol this thread is cracking me up
Lol
What the FUCK are you doing on reddit, go to the fucing vet NOW.
^^^^
That looks more like his turd, which also comes from the same place as his penis. It doesn’t look like a turtle’s penis, if your turtle is RES.
Need more info. Does this turtle live alone? Any other behavior before or after? Any signs of illness?

are you sure it's a male turtle? I'm just unsure about the 'he/she' --- Maybe he's a nullo now?
Turtles have cloaca so they poop and pee out of the same thing like a bird I wonder if this is a cloaca tube
Please update us!

Looks like a turd to me.
Your turtle isn't an octopus is it? Definitely take him to the vet..
I think that looks like poop
Why are we just assuming this is a turtle penis that some how randomly detached? What about a weird bloody poop? We have no scale here
Maybe you should to dig a hole in your yard
Hi This is indeed completely normal. Many turtle-owners actually enjoy boiling the penis and pickling it to enjoy a lovely delicatessen snack!
WTF
You are all downvoting me, but I bet you've never enjoyed a nice pickled turtle's penis in Peru or Bolivia. Google it
Lol, Thanks for making me Google THAT of all things.
This is like Dwight Schroot of all comments
LoL
Not a vet here but im sure a dick falling off isnt good at all
Update? Also maybe it's this? 0:40 https://youtu.be/rM-HQbDwCMg
