wax worms in poop??

[reptilegyrl]

Hi everyone, I wasnt sure if i should be putting this in here or in feeding, but im worried about the health of my dragon Cupid.

sorry this is an icky question!

My worry is about her poop. She has been very regular going same time every day. mostly solid. But yesterday she had a watery poop. Then lastnight she went poop in the bath and there was a whole wax worm in it. also again in her cage I cleaned up one with a whole wax worm in it though it wasnt watery.Cupid is about 9 mos old, and has been eating reptiworms, goliath worms, crickets, and some veggies and fruit. But last week none of the stores in the area had any reptiworms,goliath, silk wrms etc. they only had wax worms and meal worms. So i have heard that wax worms are fatty and not to be given regularly. but for a few days she only had crickets and the wax worms until the shipment came in.
Im wondering if anyone else has had this prob with wax worms? is this a sign of a serious problem or just a sign to never feed them to her again?

Thank you for reading

Hi,
That is actually more common then you would think-I see it a lot on here and it has happened to one of my dragons before! It just means Cupid didnt digest them, just make sure you let her bask for atleast 2 hours after feeding! If it happens frequently, then you should worry and bring her to a vet, but I'm sure she just didnt digest them fully this time!

Hahaha don't worry, we all are!
I know that when ever I am away
and I call my boyfriend the first thing I say is:
"How is Mimi? Did she poo? How was it?"
I have been trying to get her digestive system right,
I don't think the guy we got her from treated her right.
It took me 3 days to get her to poop after we got her.
She's gotten alot better, sometimes still poops everyother day.

This was a good question to ask,
I didn't know she has to bask for 2 hours after eating
so Im glad I know now!
