My leo seems to have eaten a piece of kitchen roll from her damp hide. I was doing a spot clean and checking her poo and one of them was mainly made up of a piece of kitchen roll, it looked exactly like it had passed through her.

Her substrate is tiles with some pieces of slate for interest, with a damp hide up the warm end (warm end substrate temps 30 degrees C) and another hide stretching from the warm end to the cool end. The viv is about 3' long so she has a decent temperature gradient. There is a water bowl, a bottle-top of calcium and a bowl of mealworms in there, and I supplement with Nutrobal regularly.

She sheds appallingly, I am always soaking off bits of shed from her toes and she's still lost the tips of some, but apart from that she seems healthy to me.

Should I be worried? And does anybody detect any problems with my husbandry?

Kaida could it be a piece of shed hon, it looks quie a bit like wadded paper if they regurge it, it could possibly hav gone through quickly and not been absorbed. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
