If his name is davinchitoise....I think you have a smart alick turtle playing tricks with you...lol....
No seriously what is going on there...what did he eat? Looks like he stacked some leaves and greens....if what you fed your turtle looked like that going in and came out looking almost like it did going in I would wonder why passed so quickly???
Keep in mind tonight I am using my smart phone so my old lady eyes are squinting uber tight at thethe phone screen...and it looks like what starts out as a meal on a dish....maybe someone else here has better vision and can set ya straight...lol

This made absolutely no sense to me...?
What I am meaning is....what did you feed? It appears as though the food did not get digested entirely before it was passed .....? What type of turtle do you have?

He eats collard greens, mustard greens, carrots, occasionally raspberries and blueberries, an crickets with calcium powder. But usually he doesn't eat much of the lettuce.. And I have a 3Toed Box Turtle..
Hmmmm..what type of substrate is in his enclosure?

Coconut fiber mixed with cypress mulch
Ok so since you are there in person and can look at the poo....really look at it and pick up one of the stick/leave like pieces and give it a feel...does it seem at all like the cypress mulch? Do you feed off of a dish or does you guy grab the food and run off to eat it? Is it possible what you are seeing is some of the substrate?

LOL...okay so I hope you find the humor in this...here goes, I was so not even concerned with the slime green stuff as I thought the pic you shared showed brown stick/leaf debris as the poo you were concerned about.....I was more concerned with your critter passing that pointy wool chip looking stuff than the green mixed in....did I just make sense??
If you are simply referring to the green then I would not be that concerned...lol..
OMG I was getting worried that your little one was passing that wood chip crap...so relieved it is the green only...lol

Oh haha. No I just picked a piece of the mulch out so I didn't have to touch his ****. Haha
Yeah...total freak out going on here....I was trying to stay calm asking questions so I could get as much info as possible....lol....well I am SO HAPPY now...my stomach was in a knot for you and your little one looking at those wood pieces...lol.....wheeeewwheeeew.
The pics are blurry, but I think I am seeing some normal urates stuck to a bunch of cypress mulch. Does that sound right? The white/greenish stuff is what you are concerned about, right? If yes, that is just normal urates.
