ok so i was in my room with my brother and we noticed that one of my turtle's either threw up or pooped this long whiteish looking thing, it almost looks like a worm..i dont think its normal and whatever it is its not alive...what should i do?

i fed both of them some pellets and brine shrimp today, they didnt eat alot. about 3 pellets each and each 1 or 2 shrimp bits..

the basking temperature and water temperature is normal and i just cleaned my tank like 3 hours ago....

If it happens again and you really think it is a worm, take the stool sample to a vet. If your turtles has parasites, he'll need to be treated. It would be something to watch for. If you can get a picture, that would help us too.
