So yesterday both of my "guys" looked fine and their cloacas have been looking...uhmmm.. fuller which I assumed was just them becoming "men" as they're about 7 months old now, but now when I came back from running a few errands I noticed something was much more seriously wrong than I thought. It looks like one of them may have a prolapsed cloaca but I'm really not sure as it doesn't look too me like his insides are coming out like I've seen in other cases, it just looks like his cloaca is swollen...the first three pictures are of my melanoid golden that I'm really concerned about, the last 2 are of my regular albino who I can't tell if he's just becoming a big man or if he's starting down the same prolapse path...

It doesn't look like a prolapse to me. The area does look very swollen, but I have seen my males look a bit like that when they are laying spermatophore. I would keep a close eye in case there are any further changes.
 
thank you for responding, I didn't think it looked like a prolapse so much after researching some more, I stuck the sicker guy in the fridge overnight and he looks much better already, I'm guessing both my "guys" are just swollen? I haven't seen any spermatophors in the tank...and the sicker melanoid golden seems pretty constipated like poop was trying to come out but was stuck for a while..
