Help! (warning for gross picture)
My skink was doing normal skink things the first time I went to check on them, and when I went back to check on them a second time, I see this next to them!
I removed it from their tank and inspected it further but the only thing I noticed was that it was granular in texture. I have no idea what it is, do any of you?

mucusey blood tinged poop ?I'd scoop it up, put it in a ziplock and have the vet check for parasites ASAP
Could it be an ovum /"slug" ? I've never seen one like that

A slug was my first thought too; my dad basically dismantled the thing trying to figure out what it was, but I'll see if I can salvage part of it and bring it to a vet asap. x__x Thank you.

Re: Help! (warning for gross picture)
Would be interesting to know what this turns out to be. The slugs I've seen are yellowish.

Re: Help! (warning for gross picture)
Never seen from a BT, but my bearded dragon does almost an identical one right before she lays a clutch of eggs. I'm sure one has nothing to do with the other, but figured I'd mention it. Could he have ingested something foreign? Post your findings, I'm very curious.

I always keep a close eye on them while they're out and haven't seen them eat anything they aren't supposed to, but my father suggested the same thing! I'm taking them to the vet in the next day or two, I'll be sure to let you guys know what the heck it is.
