This might be a strange question but I think Sheldon has reached his sexual age. I thought he was a she and even posted pictures here were most said he was a she. It is often hard to tell so no fault there. He had his wellness check last month where they said he was indeed a he. I've been worried since he hasn't pooped. He always poops when I take him outside and just hasn't. I'm hoping he's just eating them when he's inside. Anyway I was soaking him and picked him up and saw something start to come out of his tail. I was happy put him back in the water. Nothing. I picked him up again saw it start to come out again put him back nothing. The third time I noticed it again but saw more of it come out. It looked like a grayish colored tongue. I knew what it was then. But and here comes my question, when he is out he follows me everywhere and tries to sit up over my foot like he's mounting it. I was wondering if this is normal? I'm also wondering if there is a link between this and his lack of pooping. He is eating good and healthy otherwise. He is also my only tortoise. Sorry if this is a stupid question
