My Amber went to the bathroom and it was mostly water that didn't have a smell to it but she had this? It's only happened maybe 2-3 times this year just wondering if it's normal or a parasite.

Typically parasites will cause very stinky poop.
AHBD or Drache613 might have a better idea though

It's just poo. Might be a little bit of inflammation in the gut that caused a bit of extra mucus to be produced, which is more than likely what that is. I wouldn't worry about it unless it's a reoccurring issue.

There poop is smelly but not gag inducing smelly I have done a bunch of cultures (think that's what it is) and they have only found parasites once but that was when Amber was around 6-8 inches when I first got her.

I have done about 30 over the yrs and never have anything comeback especially if there poop is stinky I always check it

Poop is going to be stinky no matter what. It's poop. It's when it's room clearing stank that it can be an indicator of parasites, along with constant loose stool.

Ya she will have some mushy poop one day and then the next day it'll be perfect and in correct form.

Your also right poop is gonna stink because it's poop only time it hasn't been stinky is if she has been eating a boat load of greens.

She has pooped before and if you didn't see it then you would know it was even there 😅

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
