    Ranks above avatars?
    you may want to remove the astroturf and soak in a solution of 10% bleach, 90% water. that should help to disinfect it and take away the smell. just make SURE to rinse it out VERY well, so there is no leftover bleach smell or residue. you can use an extra piece of astroturf, paper towels, or newspaper in the mean time in the tank.

    just pick him up gently and set him in a box or something while you take the astroturf out and put newspaper or whatever you are going to use in the tank. then carefully put him back and leave him be for a few days. generally i think that it is ok to do minimal handling for sanitation and cleaning reasons.

    is it imperative that i change the astroturf because it doesn't smell that bad anymore and i cleaned the spot where the poo was(was no sign of residue just felt i should clean it) plus the turf looks so cool lol.

    was it just feces or was there urine as well? bps can relieve themselves of quite a lot of urine at one time. if there was a lot of urine i would say that you really need to take it out and clean it, otherwise it will get moldy and unsanitary.

    The white nugget was urates, which is pee, and means that he almost certainly released some fluid too. More thorough cleaning is in order.
