Another poopie question

fun5oh Oct 22, 2004 01:53 AM

Sorry guys, I did a search and frankly don't care to read all the poop posts available.
I came home from work tonite to find a turd that was about a inch long and only consisted of mealworms all wrapped up, kinda looked like a larve of some sort, from a distance anyways. Was this regurgitated worms or passed from the dark side? It was really weird cause of the size, my leos in the tank (2) are almost 6 weeks old, maybe 5 inches long. When I cleaned the crud up it wasn't hard like shells, but soft and fell apart, though I really didn't disect it by choice!
Should I be concerned about this? All other poops so far have been normal, although I dont think poopin between the carpet and the front glass the entire length of the tank should be considered normal!
Thanks for any help
Robin

Sounds like regurgitation, he ate to many mealworms, nothing to worry about

but it if its consistant you might want to get it checked out by a herp vet

Thanks Dan!
He's right back to eating like a pig again, guess I'll see what happens in the next couple days.
