How to store a stool sample?

My dragon's vet asked me to bring in a stool sample, but they forgot to give me a container or instructions! Of course it is Easter and vet isn't open. Isn't that always the way of things?

So, I am going to store the stool sample in the screw-top medicine bottle that his meds came in. Should I label with time/date and refrigerate? Freeze? Leave on counter? Does anyone here know?

You can put it in that or I use a paper towel to clean it up in the tank then take the whole paper towel place in a Ziploc bag and put in the fridge- it will be fine for 24 hrs -- tell them its 24 hrs or however long you got the sample from the dragon

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
