Hi there, your dragon is right at the upper end of his life span so you have taken really good care of him. Has anything changed in his diet ? Sometimes impaction or somewhat of a stricture can cause blood . Has he eaten a larger than usual prey item maybe ? Is he drinking ?

Yes I know it's an anole, I'm so used to typing dragon because that's what the forum is about.

The next time he poos get a picture of it. Here's how to post pics :

https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ Then use the XIMG to upload

BTW, is he acting O.K otherwise ? For now it's best to feed him smaller crickets. There's not much you can do probably except make him comfortable , he's quite old and it may just be day to day now. He may surprise you though.

Hello,

Wow, a 6 year old anole, impressive! He is most likely impacted to some extent if the cricket
was too large.
You could try giving some soft foods perhaps, if possible such as squash or sweet potato mixed
with coconut oil (a few drops) dropped onto his nose to see if he will lick any of that off.
Only time will tell whether or not he will be able to pass it all through. Let us know how he is
doing.

Yes, a 6 year old anole is a very well cared for critter, kudos to you!!! I am sorry he is going through this but, sometimes things happen that are out of our control. Large crickets are a bit to big for anoles, I don't think I would feed mine anything that big (of course mine is a brown anole and won't get that big anyway). Try some BSFL (black soldier fly larvae) small but full of nutrients and calcium.

Hello,

Any updates for us on your little Anole? I hope he is hanging in there.
Let us know how things are going.

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.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
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
