Hi, so this is my first time owning a beardie and I'm still a bit confused as to what regular beardie poop is normally supposed to look like, so i just needed some help on making sure his loads are normal and healthy. This was from today, he's 3 months old right now and I've had him for about a month.

Ok I dont really see any white that would be pee - you want what the dark poop looks like now but you also want a formed white urate as well -- poop needs to be moist along w/ the urate --- please rinse his greens / salads first before serving --- he looks cute and I see some stress marks going there as well - please get him off the pellets - you dont want him eating them --- you can get some paper towels for now and look into getting him some textured NON adhesive shelf liner - either at Walmart or your local home improvement store -- you want something w/ texture for non slipping - clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50 -- what are you using for a UVB ? coil or a long tube fixture?

His UVB is a coil and I keep on a black light heating lamp as well to help keep his tank warmer. What would help him produce more urate? I will make sure to switch his substrate right now too.

Keeping him hydrated buy feeding fresh salads rinsed before serving -- add some BSFL www.symtonbsf.com to the tops of his salads in front of him good lures to the salad bowl they are a good staple feeder so feed as many as you want along w/ his other main staple your feeding-- https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder Nutrition Content
you dont want him dehydrated he wont eat --- along w/ the coil UVB these are a health hazard to your dragon please replace w/ this
ZOO MED ReptiSun T5 HO High Output Reptile Terrarium Hood - Chewy.com this will come w/ a 5.0 bulb please get a 22" Reptisun 10.0 T 5 for a tank that is 40+ gallon size - if your using a 20 gallon tank use the 5.0 bulb it comes w/ for now - I can help you get this placed for your tank --- the different bulbs require certain placement and distances -- your screen is going to determine this
Make sure your gut loading the insects - feed them at night so when feeding in the morning they are good and gut loaded and make sure they have water pellets / crystals etc -- hes going to get his main hydration from the salads -- thats why we want him eating some salad now
Please get rid of the black light heating lamp if its colored --- you dont want any colored bulbs in the tank -- it distorts the vision and disturbs their sleep --- if you need heat at night use a Ceramic Heat Emitter they produce heat and NO light -- if your tank is falling below 65 at nite then use it -- dragons like cool and dark it helps metabolize their system --- you can use stick ons for ambient heat but you want a digital probe thermometer for surface basking temps they are the most accurate

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
