What is this?

[Lindsey0106]

I've just given my baby a little soak. Left her for a two/three minutes. When I got back the water had this in it.
It smells quite bad. Is it vomit or is it poop? It's a bit more green than what it looks like on the photo so I'm thinking vomit. What may have caused this? Should I put her back in water in case she's lost a lot of fluid? I don't want to stress her out. She seems fine now, back basking and drying off.

Probably poop, partially undigested food. Like a soft stool he has broken up into pieces. You could give him a new soak if you want to, but it is not a must.

Oh how cute!! I don’t suppose you’d mind sharing how you keep her? It’s really nice to check in with newer members!

How are your temperatures? Ie basking temp(directly under the bulb)overall day temps, night temps?
What kind of lighting/heating are you using specifically? Packaging photos are good if you have any
Do you use indoor uv? If so what kind?
How’s your humidity? As she’s a baby is she in a closed set up? What do you use for substrate?

A photo of the full set up would be great if willing to shareAlong with one of your adorable Tort
