I’ve had this guy for several months now, has been doing great. Target feed it mysis about 2x per week. When I woke up today, I saw this long slime-looking string coming from its mouth. It appears to be fairly white, and I am just assuming that it’s slimy. It looks a bit like when I saw a small snail get trapped on a heater and die, so maybe it just ate a snail and that’s the snail’s slime being expelled? Just want to make sure it’s not anything to be too concerned about.

Following. Other than the tongue, it looks very healthy.
 
False alarm. I reached in to feel it and I’m pretty certain that they were antennae.

That was my first thought. Sometimes they grab the entire molt and then it's more obvious.
