Is it okay if my turlte acidentaly ate a wasp? The wasp was still alive, and Thao(my turlte) got a hold of him, swolowed him stinger first, had a little convolsion, then swollowed it. Is a turltes digestive system okay for a wasp? The wasp was about an inch long, and Thao is 3 years old

Is you turtle behaving normally and not appearing to have any problems? If he is acting the same, he's probably OK. But in the future, I'd try to keep wasps away from him...

Well, keeping and eye on him for a bit just in case would be good. :)
