Sulcata Pooping Pure White Feces/ Urine?

Accomplice Nov 01, 2003 04:20 PM

My tortoise peed on a guest today and a second later some white material was excreted. It looks like cream cheese. He only eats veggies, what could this be? Is it normal?

He was a hatchling when I got him back in August. He's now about 4-5 inches long.

It's urates, and completely normal. Tortoises pass both liquid and solid urine/urates.
