Crazy! Help

[jmwhitel]

My 4 1/2 month ambilobe was free ranging outside in the beautiful Spring weather. I still haven't finished his outdoor enclosure, so he was just in his schefflera plant enjoying the sun. After close inspection, I realize he had eaten a local lizard!!!

What signs or symptoms should I keep an eye out for? Don't want him to get parasites or sick. Any advice is welcome.

I am also worried about impaction. That lizard was huge for Bane to eat! Any precautions to combat potential impaction? Just good hydration?

He should be ok. My chameleons have eaten backyard lizards before with no ill effects. Not something I fed to them, but they do get inside the cages from time to time and they get ahold of them. They probably have eaten many more than I know about. He should be able to digest that. It is not like it is a rock or something. Yes there is a chance of parasites, but nothing to really fret over.

I think he just got his month's supply of protein in one gulp, but not to worry

Thx for the reassurance! He is so fat now with the look of pure joy on his face
