Hi everyone!
Tonight, I was soaking my sulcata hatchlings and going about business as usual when I looked in their water and it was full of this white chunks... I have seen them before in their soaks, and didn't think anything of it. Then I was holding them and using a soft toothbrush to gently scrub their plastrons and one of them starting squeaking and then shot out A LOT of these white chunks almost 3 feet all over the top of the enclosure ?. Does anyone know what this is or if I should do something about it? Since then, it is acting and breathing normal just cruising around looking for food.
Just for background. The hatchlings were started correctly and are in a closed chamber with 90% humidity, a basking spot of 97 deg and a ambient temp of 85 deg. They get soaked once daily and are on a very diverse diet of grocery greens, herbal hay, wheat grass, hibiscus leaves and flowers, and I am now introducing buffalo grass while I try and track down mulberry!
Thank you for your help!
