Hello everyone,
I am somewhat a new beardie owner and seeking advice on what other things I should do to get rid of the parasite other than keeping his cage clean and giving meds. Right now he has a parasite called coccidia. Right now I took out some of the things in the cage accept the rope hammock and a cork log.

Any recommendations?

Coccidia is common in bearded dragons and usually harmless in small amounts, so try not to worry too much.
Keeping his cage clean and giving proper medication are the most important things to do and it sounds like you have that under control. It usually only requires about 2 treatments to clear it all out. I found using paper towels as a substrate while battling parasites helps a ton. You can literally throw them away everyday and after each bowl movement to help make things easier on you and reduce the risk of reinfection

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
