Today while bathing my tortoise, it tortoise urinated a white sludge like it's a white phlegm and it's mouth was foaming it's skin was also slightly peeling. What is happening. I put my tortoise in an indoor enclosure with cocopeat substrate. I feed it some lettuce and loot of greens that are safe to feed it. recently I fed it some cauliflower stem or stamen. What should I do.

Hello!
Can add photos of peeling skin? And more details how do you keep it (inside or outside, roaming free in the house, what temperatures at daytime and nightime).

White phlegm (goo or something like this) can be indigested food. Foaming is often a sign of overheating.

A small amount of cauliflower won't do harm.
