Beardie Poop

[newbeardiemom19]

my beardie is about 5 months old. I have him on paper towl, when he takes a poop, half of one piece of paper towl is soaking wet. Is this normal? is he getting too much water? please let me know

What does the rest of the poop look like?

just a clump of moist poop its not compacted or anything, he is pooping like once a day.

So there is a soft, white urate section and also a dark, not too watery section? I'm thinking that maybe the paper towel is just sucking the moisture from the poop, rather than it actually being that bunch of water is coming out of him?

yeah there is a white slimy part haha and then the brown harder part, he doesnt poop when im in the room so i always miss it haha
mayb the paper towl is just soaking it up. it happens every time he poops

Yeah, it seems like that's probably what it is. Do you want to answer these questions just to make sure your setup is okay? :

1) What UVB light are you using?
2) How close can the BD get to the UVB light?
3) What is the basking spot temperature?
4) What are you using to measure the temperature?
5) What temperature is the cool end of the tank?
6) What size enclosure is your beardie in?
7) What substrate is your beardie on?
8) How old is your beardie and what size is he?
9) What do you offer for food?
10) How often does he eat?
11) How often does he have bowel movements and what is their consistency?
12) Have you had a fecal done on him ever?
