stool question...

mismodliz Feb 27, 2004 08:47 AM

Sorry for the bluntness of this, but there isn't really a nice way to speak about poo...

My 2 year-old male beardie took an enormous poo this morning. It was mostly normal, but one section of it wasn't the normal dark green - it was a sea-green color. (first white, then dark green, then sea-green).

Has anyone ever had this happen and do you see any problems with it?

FYI - temps normal (MVB, too), no previous problems with parasites, no change in diet (mixed greens, pellets, crickets 2-3x/week, occassional superworms for treats, supplements), shelf liner

If your feeding Repcal or another colored pellet that will do it once in a while. I notice it when I feed the pellets, and actually decide to eat them the next day or two their poop is green.

I figured as much, but I thought I'd ask to be sure. I'm used to the dark green stuff, but I've never seen sea-green...and it threw me off.

Thanks for the reassurance.
