White scat?

[THEELEG]

Still find solid scat in there cage, but I was soaking the other day and my bigger sulcata shot some white scat out and found only one spot in cage after. Only times I've seen it

Could you be talking about urates ? A white creamy/slimy substance ? Urates are common in some tortoises but not all, im not sure about a sulcata tortoise though.

Sounds like urates , and is normal for a Sulcata .

Don't worry it is most likely urates which are normal for the tortoise as long as they are more slimy than hard your probably safe but if they are harder then you need to give your tortoise a more humid environment

Slimy urate is fine.

If there's grittiness then your tort is dehydrated and needs regular soaks to rehydrate
