3 Year Old Weird Substance!

Yea, I used that site but the veggies I got her she won't eat so I think I'm just going to have to go to the store and buy a bag of salad mix. She also is in Paper Towels for the time being, much much better then the crushed walnut shells. Also should I leave water in the tank cause I'm afraid its going to cause to much humidity she already scared me she kept gapping her mouth like she was having trouble breathing but then I noticed the crickets were making noise under her cage so I moved the crickets and she stopped doing it.

You just have to try different ones. Mine don't like collards much either. The leaves are thick and fibrous. Turnip greens are smaller and more tender, and so are mustards. Of the dozens of choices, you'll eventually find something she likes. I like to shred yellow squash and zucchini to make it look like worms. My dragons go after it faster than they do if it's just chopped into pieces.

The lettuce can dehydrate her by giving her diarrhea, which was the original problem, right? And the salad mix might contain spinach, which as you can see from the Beautiful Dragons site, is questionable to give them ever.

One bowl of water probably wouldn't raise the humidity too much, but it's really not necessary, either. So, if it concerns you, go ahead and take it out. Give her a bath once a week to keep her hydrated.

Yea, their was lettuce in their and her last couple poops weren't so bad so I think that would be a good idea not to give it to her. I guess I'll have to find some Mustard Greens or Turnip Greens. Also since its summer I have the time to give her a bath every day would this be okay?

If she enjoys it, sure. Since you have time on your hands, you could make her an outdoor playpen with a kiddie pool for her to splash around in. Always under close supervision of course. I've seen some pretty elaborate outdoor setups and always wished I had the time to deal with something like that.
Always under close supervision of course.

Yea, she loves the baths she falls asleep in it and I put a little rock she can climb up on so she feels safe. But yea, she likes it. I'll end up making a out door type thing when it starts to get nicer out were I live. By the way any idea on how to make crickets shut up. >.>

Lol, you can't. Look into Dubias or superworms.

Can you feed Superworms as a Staple?

Can you feed Superworms as a Staple?

Usually, yes. I would try her on 5-10 at first to make sure she can digest them, but most adult dragons have no problems with them. They are a little higher in fat than the most healthy feeders, but still make a good staple. Of course, she would need fewer of them than crickets because they are bigger and meatier. Might want to grab a tub of silkies or hornworms or phoenix worms to supplement the supers once in a while.

Alright, I'll look into it thank you for all the help.
