Should I be concerned about an impaction?

My beardie, Gremlin, hasn't been pooping normally lately. I've given her warm baths to help with what I think could be an impaction and it's helped her pass stool but she won't pass stool in her vivarium. Her stomach is also pretty bloated. Would she be passing stool at all if she was impacted? Should I keep giving her baths?

If she is impacted she would not be passing any stool- make sure you are using a tube fixture for a UVB NO COILS please --- basking temps are 105-110 for a baby and taken w/ a digital probe thermometer - stick ons are inaccurate --- hammocks are not readable w/ a IR gun-- insects are no bigger than the space between the eyes length wise -- if you need help w/ the UVB please ask they have certain placement and distance

Hello,

What type of foods have you been feeding her?
They can be "slightly" impacted or just backed up & still pass through some but not much.
Are her urates hard or soft?

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
