VET! Now im not sure of the seriousness of prolapses with geckos but i can assume its not very good. A trained reptile vet should be able to replace the prolapse.

Roger, I responded to your message. As long as the gecko's hemipenis stays nice and pink, you can soak him in very viscous sugar-water for 10-15 minutes several times a day. Keep him on paper towel in the meantime. If there is any indication that the hemipenis is losing circulation, turning black, etc., veterinary intervention may be necessary. In the 16+ years I have been breeding leopard geckos, I have been able to resolve every case of prolapse except one which required amputation.
