White thingy in her urine/shit - white poo
Means the calcium supplement too much or not absorbed by the body. Why ? Read below.
Not enuf of sun - no uva/uvb for them
They need sunlight/basking because they are cold blooded and need outside source of heat to regulate their body temp. They also need sunlight to synthesis vitamin d in their food/supplement. Heat also helps them digest the food better and be active(You can notice the differences a lot). If you dont have time to bask them under sunlight you can opt to use the UVB bulb + basking lamp combo for it.
Tomato with with caixin
Tomato is a bad food for st, period. Not sure what is caixin. You should feed your st with mustard greed (sawi) daily as it contains a lot of fiber and very good for your star too.
Runny nose
Runny nose or RNS (Runny Nose Syndrome) is the most common problem with st, which reflects your bad husbandry.
