Pulled these from my leaftail's vent... Parasites? Help?

Noticed our male Uroplatus Fimbriatus' vent looked dirty, appeared to be some dried feces so gently pulled on it and these two things came out... We already assume he has worms really bad bc he's quickly declined although continues to eat and drink a bit. His ribs are showing more each day, his tail becomes more curled, and he seems weaker. I'm actually going into the vet tomorrow to pick up a collection tube to get a feces sample to be sent off but... WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE?! They've only eaten crickets lately. But they are imported so undoubtedly have parasites... Is that what these are?

To me they look like sperm plugs, could be wrong, but that's what my Cham's sperm plug looked like last year.
