  That may be due to the smoothie or the soaking providing hydration. You can submit it to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites if that is a concern. Offer a "spring mix" as well as other dark, leafy greens (collard, mustard, dandelion greens). Vegetables can also be finely chopped and offered. Pumpkin, squash, gourd, carrots, peppers and bok choy are all safe

  Monitor for lethargy, loose droppings, regurgitation, loss of appetite or straining to defecate. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. Depending on the size of the pieces, she may be able to pass them. You can dab a bit of plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) on her nose. This will add fiber to hopefully move things along.

  It is difficult to see in the picture. What you can do is submit a stool sample to your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. This may diagnose intestinal parasites. The appropriate medication can then be administered or dispensed.
