Hi, this is the poo of my female sulcata. She was supposed to lay around January but hasn’t showed any signs and is spending a lot of time in the water.
Do you think this is egg yolk in her poo. Any ideas on what I should do?

No. Just looks like urates to me. Yolk is muck brighter yellow.

I agree with Yvonne, looks like urates to me too. Density and slimness of it suggests the tortoise needs more water to drink.

If you think she is egg bound, I think only way to confirm that is to xray her at the vet.
