The Runs

[Dirt McGirt]

My fatty was delivered yesterday, and looking very healthy. But when i noticed her stool today, it was runny. Should i be concerned or do u think it could be normal due to the stress of shipping

Could be from the shipping...but as with any new reptile, keep the animal separated and keep an eye on it...if it lasts for more than 4 or 5 days i'd go ahead and have a stool sample analyzed.

well tonight she devoured 10 crickets!
Im really suprised she could fit all that in her 13 gram body.....
So Im asuming that she will need to take care of business sooner or later.
Hopefully it will be normal stool, now that she seems to be relaxing a bit with her new home.

Let us know.. Also if it has a wierd odor.. I think thats one of the things I first noticed with the AFT when I went to go get that sample.

well she just took care of major business!

Very large and solid with all the normal signs, ie yellow, black, and white.

The only weird thing is its covered in a clear liquid. ????

I mean it is an improvement from the runny mess she left two days ago, but still doesnt look right.

If it were dry then i wouldnt be very concerned, but solid and wet is strange.
