    Default Gel in water?

    I was cleaning one of my frogs three water bowls and I found a chunk of gel like substance in it. I've never seen it before and unsure of what it is?... It has tiny brown specs in it but I assume that it is just poo since there was poo in the bowl as well. I have 2 male AGTF and 2 Females together. The bowl I found it in was the one sitting on a heating pad, which is their favorite bowl. It's not near where the fogger is and there really isn't anything above it as far as fake foliage or anything. After I cleaned the bowl I put it back, but Any ideas on what it is?
