I found this in my tortoises enclosure and was wondering if it's a bladder stone? You can scrape of the sides of it with your nail but it's to hard to crush between your fingers.

I don't think so. Bladder stones are usually much lighter in color.

That looks like a pebble that he could have swallowed, if it came out of him at all.

Ok but i don't think hes big enough to swallow something that big. But if he did it could be that he used to have a mix of dirt and sand and he could have swallowed some rock in the sand.

That is not a bladder stone. Bladder stones are white and round.

Another vote for "not a bladder stone."
