His stool is NEVER like this. At least not this color. His stool is always big and hard, like a small rock kind of. And I went to my garden and saw this on the cement part. Sorry for the mess but we have construction of the 2nd floor of our house it's not always like this. Anyways it's weird because he's never pooped on the floor before. Last time I saw this in the corner of my outside living room as well. I'm very worried, I'm not sure if this is blood in his feces? Please some help would be great right now. He seems fine. He follows me around like usual and he lets me pet him.

I don't think this is stool....this looks like a slightly dried out earthworm that found it's way onto your patio.

Definitely doesn't look like any turtle stool I have seen before. How are you suspecting this belongs to a RES? Is this concrete area right next to your turtle pond? This would be an unusual spot for a RES to spend much time.

Photos like this are what led me to my hypothesis.

Their pond is in my garden area and this concrete area leads to a set of stairs to the 2nd floor. It definitely is stool but I'm not sure if its his, I've never seen him poop like this. He is acting normal as usual so I see no warning signs right now.
