I took pictures yesterday of Dmitry's soaking (removed the solid brown chunks) to be sure that I am actually describing urates when asking about them being colored.

I expect #2 are urates but not #1 which he eliminates a few times a week. Is this a typical tortoise elimination or a trip to the vet?
