Hello, I have a 10 month old beardie and for the past month or so, 50% of the time he will have very mushy stool with a pool of liquid around it. I have noticed that he seems to have the worst poops in between ordering pheonix worms when I feed him crickets. He is in a 20 gallon right now, but in a month or two I am moving him into a 75 gallon in my new room. He is about 16-17 inches. I feed him 20 pheonix worms and 2 small dishes of collard, turnip, or mustard greens. I give him other veggies such as carrots about twice a month. I have a Reptisun 10.0 and a 75w bulb for daylight and a CHE for nighttime temps. The substrate is tile. I have also noticed that his feces are EXTREMELY smelly. Here are some pics:

Thank you for any feedback.

That does look pretty mushy. Excess hydration passing through is likely to be playing a part. And crickets can cause smellier than usual poops. Since it has been going on for a while though it's probably a good idea to have a fresh sample checked out by a vet.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
