Try cutting it through and tasting it. If it passes the taste test, then I should think it's Ok. You can get yellow varieties of courgettes (zuchinis (spelling?)), but I'm not sure about cucumbers. Maybe it has gone 'overripe'? I pick my cucumbers as soon as the skin becomes taught (they start out wrinkly). They need loads of water - remember that a cucumber is mostly water. Hope this helps :-)
