In Reply to: russian looks a bit swollen posted by JFeul on April 18, 2003 at 16:23:57:

I have owned the tortoise for at least two years, and there is no other tortoise. In addition, it seems to be male, after I did a bit of research. Pregnancy is probably not the problem.

After a long, warm soak the little guy let out a HUGE amount of poop, so now I've come to blame my father for not soaking the russian enough. This is probably the cause of the swelling--backed up feces. Ew.

The only other mystery is the white stuff. I've seen this before, on occasion. Does anyone know what it is? Is it semen? Thanks!
