Noticed these in a poo recently from my babygirl. Had to soak her to help her go and she went instantly, after cleaning most the poop out and draining the water i noticed these brown things. Can’t tell if they are cricket eggs just covered in poop but everyone on Reddit is saying parasites. Shes acting how she usually does nothing new and I could only find one post on the entire internet with these exact things and nobody gave the poster an answer. They look nothing like any known parasites i know of from feeders but I’ll be watching her next few poos to check just wanted to see in advance if anyone knew what it was or had experience with them before, ty!

It does look like it might be a parasite to me. I'd take a poop sample to a vet for testing, just in case. Don't let the vet do an enema if you take her in, it's much to dangerous.
I'll flag a couple others that might be better qualified than me about what that is.

Hi there,if your dragon eats crickets those are cricket eggs. Your beardie ate a grown female cricket and that's what she was carrying. No problem there !

That's interesting, I didn't know that could happen.
Now I'm tempted to go get some large crickets lol 😆

Maybe contain some extra protein. :)

But yes, you can see the eggs here in this video, it's the same as in O.P's picture except they're not stained from being in the digestive system and feces of the dragon.

Hello,

Yes, I totally agree! Those are definitely cricket eggs. It's hard to believe that the egg capsules stay in
tact for the most part, going through the digestive system like that & after the cricket being chewed. It
is quite amazing!
So no parasites there.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
