splendora tx,
Recently my little Erikai pooped a white, stringy thing D; am not sure what it is, I am flipping out. It had to be removed with a cotton cue tip and it didn't look like a worm and it wasn't moving but still i want to take precaution against it just in case i do need to worry about it. :( please help anyone.

Sometimes when slimey stuff comes out the back end (scientific talk) it might indicate the tortoise has flaggelates. You might take a stool sample in to a vet and have it checked for parasites.

This is the first time it has happened, I will monitor and get back to you guys if any other symptoms start to occur or if the slimy thing keeps coming back, thanks.
