Hi, my new and littlest star just passed what looks like pieces of silver masking tape, which I can only assume she consumed before coming to us.

She seems well in herself and is eating like a horse!
There are no outward signs of anything wrong.
Is this Likley to be problem?

Thank you for confirming that, i was a little concerned in case there is any more but I guess if she passed this, she could pass the rest. Will keep extra close eye on her.
Going to get a health check for both as soon as wormcount send the results of test back, just to be on the safe side.

OMG that must be like us passing an open baked bean can. That is one huge OUCH!!!.
Bet your torts gald to get rid of that whatever it is.
if she where mine I would keep a keen eye on her and bathe her regulaly. If she is eating then she should be ok, is she pooing normaly now?

She has been doing quite small poops till today, but she is quite small also, only 114mm, I bath all my torts daily for aprox 20 mins

Just for piece of mind while your at the vet, you might want to get her x-rayed. That way you'd know whether anything else was in there still.

Thanx Danny. I might get both torts x-rayed at a health check for base line info, checking for eggs ect before they meet Dandy. Any ideas aprox what age they could be?
Big 1 is: 165mm slc & 865g
Little 1 is: 114mm slc & 320g

Always hard to tell age, but the biggest female is an adult and big enough to lay eggs.

I have no idea how she came to eat it, it happened before we got her. Wish it didn't cost so much to get X-rays done

ah well they are worth it

Yes, I spent £176 on 2 xrays, plus consultation so the bill came to £272!!!! but it was worth it, and its a good reptile vet lol x
