Wax Worms In Poo

[Twinkie13]

Healthy guy, but has been defecating out a wax worm last 2 bowel movements....

Anyone seen this?

He ok? Normal?!

Please let me know.......

so many questions - how old is he? what does he eat? how much ? how often? what are his basking temps? what are the ambient temps? any other reptiles near? how long have you had him?

 

[Twinkie13]

A juvenile..... 3 months around for age

I give him wax worms in the AM to entice the vegetable eating in his dish.....spaghetti squash lately, mustard greens before, with peppers and blueberries here and there.....but it just started with the squash diet recently

Crickets and dubias are the insects and he gets some in AM and some in the PM

No other reptiles

Had him since Jan 1 and he was about 5 weeks then...

105-110 bask

Ambient is 80s

Nighttime in the 60s......


He just pooed in a bath and it looked all good FYI

Is he just eating them whole maybe?

He seems fine and isn't bothered.....in fact friendlier than ever lol

if you've got him eating veggies at 3 months - good for you !!! he may very well be just gulping them down. nothing like a hearty eater. I think these guys sometimes do these things just to get us to pay attention to them. since this last poop was good - I'm gonna say : don't worry. if it happens again, we can re-address, but I really think you're good to go --- It's an adventure. enjoy the journey

What do you think of that diet?
I've heard spaghetti squash is the best....he eats that better than the greens

I would change it for variety, but could one get by with a Juvie on just the squash?

mixin it up is better. provides an array of nutrients. try to limit fruit to once a week or so.

All of my reptiles did that with BSFL, it always gets pooped out whole for some reason.

 

[Twinkie13]

What is BSFL? Sorry not familiar with the term
