Nice, I like the substrate as well, just a little concerned is that piece in the corner of his mouth.

Did he swallow it?

Yeah i was too. He would've swallowed it. I wasn't gonna put my hand in to get it out
Usually he eats off the ground (from a branch) so it's the first time it's happened. Do you think he will be okay digesting?

If its rocks no,

Mine did the same once, on bark. I use forceps to get it before he swallowed it.

I was naughty and forgot to take him out of the enclosure before feeding.

I would recommend feeding him in a click clack or something off the substrate.

Yeah you're right. They would end up eating dirt and stuff in the wild too.

yeah are they white marble chips, or painted aquarium gravel.

If they're marble, they should disolve in the hydrochloric acid in his stomach.

I think they are the marble chips. I'm pretty sure they're not the aquariam ones.

I was thinking that too...but you must figure that in the wild they get bits stuck to their prey in the shuffle and they must injest some weird bits that they're not suppoused too... right guys?
