Can someone tell me what this is??

Hi all, I keep seeing these ‘water drops’ on the side of the enclosure.
I thought it was poop at first, but its clear, and always appears near the T’s mouth.
Their water is in a dish, so it’s not from me dripping in water.
I highly doubt its venom, as it seems far too much for the small pulchra.
Is it just really clear poop? It doesn’t stain the enclosure.

It is the cleaning fluid they use to groom themselves, sometimes appears after they have groomed. Completely normal.

Are you using tap water for your Ts water dish?

Ah awesome! I didn’t realise they groomed with fluid, I assumed they just ‘combed’ themselves. Thank you

No, I don’t use tap water for any of my animals.

I caught my female P. pulcher getting a drink the other night, and she proceeded to leave droplets of water just like that coming from her wet mouth.
