I just saw Chong with a long white stringy poop hanging from his/her butt...

huh?

Is there anything like that he would have been able to get ahold of and eat?

Wierd. Is it poop-like or is it some kind of foriegn matter? I guess if it comes off and he's eating and behaving normally then it's nothing to worry about. Unless it could be some kinda of parasite, a worm or something.

Ive read a post like this before, but there were no answers for it. No one knew or responded... it was a white string coming out.

What has he been eating? Has he ever done this before? Could he have accidentally injested something like a hair? Are you sure it's actually poop---how long is it? Can you post a pic of it?

Maybe it was a piece of shedded skin that was coming off of the tail?

no, it was stringy white long poop...

they only eat reptomin and i've been introducing them to romaine lettuce but they don't seem to like it...

i just got back from work, they seem fine...

I hesitate to ask this, but what happened to it? If you see anything like that again, can you get a pic of it?

I've heard one or two cases in which it was a parasite, or the remains of a parasite. But it could be anything... collect a sample if you could.

HELP!! It happened again, I took pictures of it, I'm really worried now!!!

Maybe you should save the white stuff in a ziplock bag, take the turtle to the vet and have them take a look at him and the white stuff..It could be a parasite?..It doesnt look normal.

Whoa, that does not look right! You should get that turtle to a vet. Put that stringy thing in a container or baggy and refridgerate it until you can bring it to the vet.

I third that!

well, the only place that will look at her this late in the night will charge $165... they wouldn't even want to help me over the phone... [---]...

I'll wait and take her to the vet tomorrow morning... I'm off...

I'm so scared, she looks fine and is acting normal though...

I threw away the poop before I posted the pics too... if she poops it again, I will keep it...
