Monitor for lethargy, loose droppings, regurgitation, loss of appetite or straining to defecate. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. Depending on the size of the pieces, she may be able to pass them. You can dab a bit of plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) on her nose. This will add fiber to hopefully move things along.
