I live in AZ and I noticed a very light reddish color stain on the ground where our desert tortoise "Tommy" eats. I am not certain it came out of him because I didn't see him pee there but when I went to wash it off with water the reddish stuff seemed to have the consistency of a coagulated substance, it wasn't easily washed away. Should I be concerned? If it did come from him what could cause his pee to be reddish? Is it blood and if so should I take him in to the vet?
