Green stool

[Venom1226]

Hey everyone needed advice for a golden tegu that keeps pooping green stool for some odd reasons he eats everything looks normal but his stools are green?!

Well, what are you feeding him?

The urine is clear, the urates are a yellowish-whitish color and the actual poop is brown with a slight greenish hue. Has it always pooped this color, or is this a new development?

Chicken breast, or legs with calcium powder maybe some shrimp

Yes randomly developed he threw up some chicken and than pooped barely digested chicken not eating at the moment

I would change up his diet. I'd try that first - like go try the ground turkey meat balls, dusted with calcium. I give my spoiled brat fresh caught Salmon with extra fish oil drizzled on it. I know it seems expensive, but right now, you're just looking for a remedy to normalize him. You may have a bit of a sensitive eater, in which case, you'll have to find his diet items that suit him best. This doesn't happen that often, but I had an impacted adult male, and he was really sick for awhile. After determining his issue, we got that fixed, but never knew the cause. I would take a guess at too many adult mice too close together....but really don't know.

I've only seen a Tegu spit up water, not partially eaten food. My simple suspicion about yours is that he was trying to take in too much. But - I've NEVER seen them excrete semi-digested food. That's a new one to me. Somehow, he didn't process the way he should. I'd def try other food. Sorry - that's all I've got! Hope someone else chimes in here!!

Good luck - keep us posted
