Bluish - Green colored Feces

[Jeanne]

Hi All,

I recently had someone call me because their geckos poop has been coming out a partly bluish-green. They said that it was more blue then green though. I am stumped. Has anybody else seen this?

Sorry I have never seen blue and green poo. i hope everything is ok. I would sugest a fecal.

Ive never seen anything like that either, I wonder if they are using sand they have that new colored play sand and a friend of mine used the purple just to see if the leo ate any. She said a few stools had a little bit of purple specks but rarely.

Oops, I just realized I put this in the wrong catagory....Do I get warning points for that :main_huh:

I am stumped too, they said that they were using paper towel for substrate (But of coarse they could be lying).

Another thing, not sure if this helps, they said that the "blue" poops are usually near the water bowl. Maybe chemicals in the water?

what dietary supliments are they using and is the poo lose or runny?

Solid stool, not sure of supplements, I'll find out and get back to you guys.

You might want to see the poo yourself. I've seen several greenish poos and I think that's alright, but never a blue poo.

The person lives a few states away from me, so I won't be seeing the poo...LOL I will let the vet see it, they are going to bring a fecal sample to them
