Hey everyone, so Jerome, my 5.5 month old beardie is only a foot long. About 3 weeks ago he was only 9 inches, then I switched him to Phoniex worms and he's grown 3 inches in that time which is great! But to be on the safe side, I decided to do the DIY Fecal Float. As far as Cocoida, I can't tell if there are any but there is definitely a worm looking shape in one of these slides. This is my first fecal, and 3 days ago I gave him a dose of Fenbendazole and a dose of Liquid Toltrazuril Coccidiocide 5%. It's hard for me to catch fresh fecal since I'm out a lot but this morning he finally let one out so I tested it. How does it look? I don't think it's normal. Sorry for photo quality, was hard to get the camera on the microscope.

can u do your own fecal exams? :shock:

Not too difficult if you have access to a descent microscope. There are kits you can buy online. Most common parasites are pretty easy to identify.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
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.
