what in the world is this?

I saw my sulcata walk around, and then randomly this comes out of his butt. I had never seen it so creamy. Usually when I put him in the water bucket for soaks, it comes out as solid white.

Is this pee? Is this poo? Is he unhealthy? I have no idea.


And how come I had never seen it to this effect before?

The white stuff? Urates? Google it or search here for it.

But what am I getting it now? I've had the sulcata for over 3 months.

Likely the tort was really dehydrated upon arrival with you, you then began soaks, allowing the tort to hydrate and when a tort begins to have a reliable source of water their nature is to urinate and while doing so the urates are expelled...what this means is "Good job" I would continue with the soaks...the smoother the urates become the better---eventually they will get runny and then watery and then if all goes well, none really ...

Well I'm sure he was dehydrated but that was over 3 months ago when I got him. He's been in 80+ humidity and temperature since January. How can something so far back come back to excrete today?
