Mucus in the stool can indicate inflammation. This can be caused by infection, parasites or dehydration. Confirm proper temperature since low temps can affect digestion. Soak Ruby in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. Massage her abdomen during the soak in case she is a bit constipated. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. If the mucus persists or worsens of if she becomes lethargic or stops eating, have her examined by your veterinarian or an experienced herp veterinarian.
