Hi. What are the temps and how do you take them? What kind of basking lights do they have? Is the uvb a coil/compact or tube?

Retisun10.0 and basking light not sure but the tank is at 95-100 the thermometer is from zoomed its 6 to 8u inches away from her the top of the tank mesh i took out cause i feel like the mesh is not letting the uvb get her

Is the uvb a long tube? It needs to be mounted in the tank with no screen or plastic between your beardie and light. She needs to be able to get within 6 to 8 inches ofvit. Is your basking bulb a white or colored? Is the thermometer a digital with a wire probe or a round gauge?

No the uvb is not the coil one i heard there bad its like a bulb but goes down in a straight line and come up the basking light is sum glo 100watt from exou terra it does have a little white around it and the thermometer is the round gauge

Ok. So the uvb is probably some of the problem. Those have been known to cause eye, appetite and lethargy problems. Also having the proper temperatures is important for them to digest properly. So what I would do is go get a temp gun or a digital with a wire probe as you need to know what the temps are ON the basking spot. Leave the probe on foe 45 mins for an accurate reading. The uvb most recommended on here is a reptisun 10.0 Tube and it needs to be mounted in the tank. I use a under the cabinet light fixture from Walmart and command hooks.

Mine stopped pooping everyday as they got older. Bathing in warm water helps with pooping. Have you tried that? Make sure the water isn't too deep and don't leave them alone in the tub. Make sure you test the water with your whole hands first. It should be warm and comfortable. I have bathed mine up to an hour before to induce pooping. You can put a basking lamp on top so the beardie and the water stay warm.

Also, stop feeding mealworms. There are many posts about mealworms causing impaction in bearded dragons.
