Looks like an undigested worm. When was the last time you fed her? NQA

#

What’s the temperature on her warm side and basking area?

topaz pike
#

oh yeah wait

#

now that i look at it

#

It is just a clump of meal worms

#

Mhm - double check your temperatures and basking area to ensure they’re warm enough and don’t handle her for a few days. They need a proper heat to digest their food, and sometimes can regurgitate food before it’s digested if stressed out. NQA

#

So the handling could’ve caused it.

#

Oh right ok

#

temps are good according to caresheet

Think she was just stressed cause of the handling tbh

#

94° on basking spot and 86-92° ambient yeah?

I think so as well. Keep an eye on her behaviours and future poops to ensure it’s not a repeating occurrence.

Result:
Please include either a `C` or a `F` as a temperature unit of measure
