here's an update, I have been keeping him in a sterile glass enclosure with paper towel lining the bottom, a heat pad under his warm cave with soaked paper towel in there, and moist paper towel at the other end in his cool cave. I was taking him out at night to soak in warm purified water for about 30 minutes before I fed him, but that ended up only causing them to swell again which irritated him to the point of eventually biting at them causing them to bleed. So I stopped soaking him yesterday to just let them dry up and it appears he is attempting to remove them himself. Which i'm assuming is probably the best solution right now. They weren't getting any smaller with the soaking, just hydrating making them more fleshy and swollen. So as of now i'm letting him do his thing, applying neosporin and keeping his tank as sterile as I can. I think everything is going to work out for him, he may end up a eunuch but he's still a pretty cute little guy and has good personality
here is a pic of what I found today before I cleaned him up, looks like he already got one off
