Turtle pooped this out

[Mightymcknighty]

So I took my tortoise out to feed and soak and he pooped out this is does not look normal at all it was awful I got no clue what it could be it looked like mucus it was stringy

Wow, that awful! Don't know what it could be, but if you're really concerned, I'd pick it up in a plastic bag and go to your vet so that they can run an analysis of the stuff.

Nothing to worry about as long as you're feeding properly and keeping it well hydrated.

That doesn't really look like urates, I'd get it checked out or hopefully someone on here can answer, but urates are typically more chalky in my experience than mucous-like.

Actually urates should be like tooth paste, not chalky or gritty.

 

[LRobb88]

Sorry if that was a poor choice of adjectives but thats the texture I mean (I would consider toothpaste to have a somewhat chalky texture, as I would the photo on the urates page).

In either case, not really mucous-like

Yay! Pooped out = a good thing! : )

Well my tort seems to be doing fine he has been eating and doing his own thing no sign of anything yet! Thanks for all these messages I really confused when it came out from him, my friend also witnessed it come also he couldn't believe it ha thanks a lot all!

My iguana poops out something very similar, so I'm pretty used to seeing it unfortunately...

Mucous usually means irritation. But it could be an isolated thing. Just keep a close eye. You might want to have the vet do a fecal to check for parasites.
