Ball of skin?

Hey guys. So my leo shed some time last night and I noticed that this morning there was a "ball" of skin out side of her humid hide. I don't know if it was regurgitated or what as it wasn't digested or a giant white blob. It was just a dried ball of skin. She's never had a problem shedding since I've had her and has never regurgitated before so I don't know if this is an issue.

Also yesterday she had a poop that was clear water with some white "fluff" (don't know what else to call it) in it. She had been doing completely normal poops right up to that point. Anyone know if any of this is related? :main_huh:

Thanks

Mine have thrown up a shed or two. Never really any reason for it I think. You are probably Ok

Ok thanks. Yeah she hasn't eaten the past two days either and doesn't even want a waxworm but that's probably just because she just shed (and had some stuck that I had to help her with) so she's probably stressed.

Sometimes there can be underlying issues with regurgitation of shed skin. With the fecal matter not being very consistent along with the combination of regurgitation, she may have some kind of parasite or bacteria but that is just a guess. I would just keep and eye on her. If she continues to eat good then I wouldn't be worried. Just keep a eye on her and go from there. Hope this helps.

I've never had this problem but i do hope it's nothing and your leo keeps in good health for you.

What's weird is there was nothing leading up to is. She was fine all weekend and before and then suddenly yesterday, BOOM, regurgitated shed and strange white poop. I'm hoping the shed was just kind of rough on her and the white poop is regurgitated shed (and that she's not sick). It's just like someone flipped a switch though.
