Advice on colour of Urates Please

I was cleaning up my corns faeces today (first one after she fed) and noticed that the urine crystals seemed to have a definate green tinge to them. Is this indicitive of any possible parasite infection that any knows of? She seems in fine health though, ate a fuzzie on friday and has been active whilst held on Saturday, Sunday and today. Am I worrying over nothing?
 
Yeah I get that sometimes in perfectly healthy animals. I think the tinge becomes more apparent if you leave the feces in there for a while.

The real problem would be having grey/beige pasty looking urates. That would point to a BIG problem. Green/Yellow to white is good, any shade of grey or brown bad...

Thanks Lemur6,
her urates have always been white / yellow this is the first time they have had a greenish tinge to them. They faeces hadnt been in the tank more than 2-3 hours. Just hadnt seen it before so was a little surprised. She is eating and drinking fine and is behaving normally, ill keep a closer eye on her for a while and intend to switch to paper towels in a week or so, to make cleaning and observation easier.

Cheers
