Default Pokie question?

Afternoon everyone!

I got my first pokie at the Kempton show a little while back from TSS

She is such a stunner, Pedersons ornamental!

I have set her up a nice arboreal tank few plants some bogwood, water dish and a bamboo hide.

She hasnt come out of her hide since i have got her (well she probably come out of a night cause ive seen a tiny bit off webbing around the place) But anyway, thing is i put a roach in for her, but it hadnt been eaten, been in there for about 3 or 4 days. So decided to put a roach in the hide one night. Next morning the chomped up remains were on the floor by the water bowl. So she had a nice sized roach there!

This morning (bout 3 days since she ate the roach) she emerged from her burrow.. This is quite a rare sight, so me and the other half was watching her she was walking around the glass having a snoop about then went back in her hide!
5 minutes later she emerged again only to turn around and "squirt" a clear liquid at the glass. Then shot back into her hide. This liquid is as clear as water but has lots of little white oval shape things in it?

Is this how they excrete their waste? and what are the little white oval things?

Just want to know if i should be concerned?

Thanks

it's spider crap that's what it looks like.

I freaked out too the first time I saw it as I was convinced my T had worms and was going to die.

Can put my mind at rest! Had so much going through my mind.. i thought it was the eggs or something from the roach, but then i thought i got giant hissers and they are live bearers!!

Thanks for a speedy reply!!

Yes, first time I handled a T back in the day, a Chile Rose fired her water canon at me, absolutely crapped myself.

She must of done it in the same place before because i have noticed the white oval peices around her water bowl.

Is it quite common that they always "poop" in the same place?

Quite impressed with her houskeeping abilitys!
Even her chomped op roach was by the enclosures doors.
