    Unhappy Some help please..

    Hey all ! Okay well the other Day I went to check my BCI (I think female, 4 years) now she just had a shed and she was soaking a lot, now after her shed went perfect she's still been soaking more (temps are perfect and no mites) and she pooped probably 2 or 3 times in water since shed.. So i was assuming she was just backed up.. She's on towels for substrate and when I went to check her there was a (for lack of a better word) small skid mark of poop from the water to her hide.. There was some white stringy stuff in the line of poop so I'm assuming it came from her cloaca.. My question is this just Pee cause it didn't look like a urate, and there wasn't much of it it was white not discolored.. So could it be sperm or sperm plugs or female scent because it is September ? She pooped in her water dish again last night and I cleaned it and put it back in and today I found this, what could it be? A bit of pee discolored by poop, or infection ? I'm guessing from her cloaca cause her mouth is clear and it looks to be a poop with it so please anyone what are your opinions on this please ? I'm worried ! Thank you in advance!

    There can be bits of undigested material that end up in urates and feces. Observe her behavior for another few weeks. Soaking regularily is normal but excessive soaking in usually a sign of digestive problems, temps, or mites. If she leaves her water dish and roams around frequently I wouldn't worry too much. Most digestive problems will involve runny stools and/or vomiting meals. If she starts acting funny take a feces sample to your vet.
