Hi All,
My name is Abee and I stay in Pune, India.
I have two Indian Star torst. Per my understanding one is male(Gypsy) and other is female(snowy). I will post pics to get expert opinion on that.
They are with me for last 6 months. I keep them free in my apartment which is quite sunny. However I am planning to build them an enclosure with top soil as substrate. I keep them on newspapers when I feed them or I go out.
I will come to point now. Gypsy is 5 inch long and 3 inch wide (shell dimensions). Today when I was soaking him.. while going out he kept his tail inside the tray and pooed a white thing (I have observed this earlier too however what happened next worried me more)..then he went out and pooed the normal dark thing. While pooing out something pink was coming out of his tail hole and it was going in again . He flashed that thing 4-5 times while wagging his tail and pooing and then took it inside again. After that he normally ate lot of cucumber and slept. When I picked him today evening he urinated and while urinating that pink thing came out again and went in.
I am worried as I have never seen him doing this in last six months , he never urinates when I pick him up ..he is quite familiar with me and at times responds to my voice commands too.
Please help. There are no good reptile vets here in India and Stars are not legal also.
Regards,
Abee
