Ok my RES is about 5 inches. Something brown and long and thick was coming out of his butt. Then when the turtle saw I was looking at it it started to go back in. What is this?!?! It was brown and kind of flat it is hard to describe has anyone ever seen this?

:D I knew what it was before I even opened your post. Very normal. The first time I saw my Flute doing that, I thought maybe he was constipated or something. :lol:

I am glad you posted it because those are better pictures then what I found. But that is 100% what it looked like. I thought it was an intestinal parasite or something. lol. I am glad it is just that.... I guess. lol[/i]

Urghh.. the pictures in the last post looks scared.. how come they can get the picture while the male is fanning? When my male turtle is fanning, if I look at him.. dat thing will straight away get in.. huhuhu..

But then its really 'shocking' experience for first time watching what the heck is coming out from him tail.. haha..

I've noticed that with Mikey sometimes when I hold him if I tip him so that he is completely vertical that his penis will show. It looks like that's what they're doing with this guy. Although Mikey's is no where near that size!!! (Don't tell him I said that :lol: )
