Strange yellow goo?

Postby Bluedragonite » Wed May 31, 2023 11:37 pm

Hello Bluetongue Forum!

I have many questions for being an blue tongue owner, but first of all. I have a two and half year old Northern blue tongue (named Dino) that i had since a youngster. I came home after a full day at work and found a yellow goo like egg/poop in her tank. Now i’m unsure what gender she is however i knew from a few days before she been really active. I mean glass surfacing all day long for the pass four days. - her eating habits are none to all. The temperature on her hot side/basking is around 95 fahrenheit, and her cold side is 77 Fahrenheit. I feed her Dog food twice a week and the rest of the days greens. I know for sure she lost alittle weight but i’m not to worried since she is abit overweight imo. She has been laying white pieces of urinate around her tank so I don’t know if its another werid urinate?

I use a towel for her bedding because i found it way easier to keep track of her plus it’s easier to clean out. Sometimes she get a cat litter tray full of subtracted that she can bury. I clean her out two to three times a week.

I had bearded dragons in the pass and this lovely is my first blue tongue i ever had. She indeed very curious and friendly.

Please i need your help! What could this be?

It could very well be a slug (term used for unfertilized ova) as I have seen similar with my breeding females. They do not have to breed to ovulate, and unless she has been eating nothing but yellow food I'd guess that's what it is. Females also become very active before giving birth/passing ova.

Hello!
She hasn’t pass another one since and her active-ness is normal. Her eating habits have return, I suppose it might be unfertilise slug. Thank you for sharing your experience!
