I woke up this morning and i realized i didn’t have any roaches left so I made Ziggy his salad and brought it up to him but he’s basking with a big black beard, his chin/jowls swollen, and he’s refusing to eat. I offered him the salad but he spit it out. I even tried strawberry which is his favorite and he refuses to even try it. I’m concerned because he’s only 6 months old and he usually attacks me for food because he’s so excited. I have no idea what it could be… the only change I made to his diet is the salad- now i’m buying mustard and turnip greens because they are much cheaper than collard greens. But I didn’t think this would be it because I made that change like a week ago. And he loved it. he hadn’t pooped in awhile. Maybe 3-4 days. But that’s normal for him. Basking temps are normal (90-105). His UV light is ready for replacement tho- it’s been about six months. Has anyone experienced this with their beardie? Or does anyone have an idea of what it could be?
EDIT: He just pooped but is in the same spot. His tail is laying in it… it’s like he pooped while laying down. Still refusing to eat. See two pics below
EDIT 2: There’s pink in his urate and I’m not sure if it is but it looks like mucus in his poo.
