Helios has been doing great since I got him. I haven’t been on here in a bit, but there’s something I’m a bit concerned about.
This morning Helios left me some poop in his tank, but I noticed that his urate was red. The red bits are kind of spotty. Not sure if it’s blood or due to some food. I currently give him Fluker’s dried mealworms and whatnot, which has red pellets in it has well. The nearest vet for reptiles is a couple hours away from me so I’d like to hear some opinions here first.
This was the first time it’s happened so I’m not sure if I should just brush it off as a one-time thing for now or not. Maybe he has too much calcium too? I know that if it’s not being absorbed it can cause red stool as well. Not sure if hornworms have anything to do with it but I did give him a couple for the last two days as well. On top of that, I was thinking that maybe he was a tad bit impacted (I did feel as if he had too many superworms, so I did give him a bath yesterday), and he just happened to pass that today and it caused his poop to be a bit bloody? I’m not really sure here so hopefully someone can talk to me about this.
