Oh my...that doesn't look good. Can we see more?

Whatever it is, keep it moist and don't let it dry out. It looks like some sort of prolapse, however the white coloration is stumping me.

Looks like poop and urates with a bubble or two in it to me. Is that some sort of organ tissue still attached to the tortoise? Or is it separate?

It all separated...one solid poo and the white stuff, which has been washed away. He seems fine though and eating a lot...puzzled me.

It think it looked that way due to some, uhh...., gaseous excretions. My tortoise all fart in the bathtub. Looked like yours farted while excreting its urates.

Can we say "fart" on a family friendly forum?
hahaha! I laughed at that!
Just urates :D all tortoises have them, and I've even seen my turtles expel urates sometimes too :)
