I have two beardies and one of them is looking really sick. I have a 2 year old male and an 18 month old female. They are in a 40 gallon tank together and they do very well together and both have always seemed very happy. The female has another 25 gallon tank that we put her in to keep her seperated to give her a break and we are saving up to get a bigger one for her but just had our first baby so are a bit short now. The cool part of their terrerium is about 72* and I am getting a reading of the burmating side now but don't have it yet. I think it is probably around 110*. I have a reptiglo 5.0 UVB and i'm not sure what the UVA is cause its gotten so hot the label burned off. They get plenty of crickets and greens and I found some Bearded Dragon food that was on sale that i decided to try. Its called Monster Diet, has anyone ever heard of this and is it healthy? Its really green and since the time I started feeding it to them, my females poo has gotten extremely green. I'm not sure if it is the food but I'm wondering if its not because it has gotten really smelly. They haven't been as active as usual, the females sleeping habbits have changed and she stays awake alot more than she used to. She had really dark stress marks today and hasn't looked well at all. The male seems fine besides sleeping alot and not being quite as active. His poo seems to be ok. Oh I also have a fountain in there so they can keep hydrated. I've been giving them worm guard every feeding as well cause I thought they may have a worm or parasite. Any advise? and does anyone know of any beardie vets in the Salt Lake City area where I can get their poo tested? What can I do in the mean time?
Update. Just read the temp and the hotest part of the terrerium is 108*f. Also their terrerium is filled with about 1-2 in of 1/2 red rocky clay kind of desert sand and 1/2 i think its ground walnut substrate. the combo is great for digging.
