My anole lizard ate Eco Earth bark. Will it digest or cause blockage?

Question

Our Anole lizard swallowed a piece of substrate bark today, about the size of his head. Will Eco Earth brand bark digest, or should I be concerned about blockage? He's a beloved family member, and although he is acting fine, I wanted your expert advice. Thank you very much.

A small enough piece should pass uneventfully. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or lack of defecation. If necessary, see your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet. Soaking him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte will keep him well hydrated which can help the substrate pass easier.
