Skinks speem plug is different than usual; does it look ok?

Postby Ohgeez » Fri Nov 03, 2017 1:35 am

So I've seen my boy drop plugs quite often now, a randy little 10 month old he is. All of them I've seen had the same quality; translucent-ish and would absorb into the tissue when wiped up.

But the one he just dropped -on my bed too, naughty boy- was exactly as white as his urate, no translucency, and felt rubbery/stringy. Is this normal??

Here's a picture, sorry its not the best.

Looks fine to me, one of my Northerns started dropping them at 5 months of age. I caught him in the act this morning and will post a picture at another time (I'm at work) so all can see what a nice fresh one (eeew!) looks like.

I have a picture of his usual plugs, much less "solid" than this one. The fact that its completely fresh and looks like that has me worried, but maybe sometimes they just are different and im fretting over nothing lol.
