Bloody Stool?

[ZeroTheDragon]

Hello everyone! I am sorry to be posting again. Unfortunately our little dude has pooped what looks to be like possible blood in his stool.

For a little bit of background information, he is about a year old. He is in a 120 gallon tank, his warm side is about 91 throughout the day and 85 on the cool side. At night it drops down to 74 sometimes with a high of 77. His humidity is perfect, under the 40% mark.

He does unfortunately hide most of the day. But he is a lazy boy. He does wake up, and will lay on his little platform on the cool side and usually we move his to his basking rock, and then about 30 minutes later he’ll go into his cool hide.

Hell usually stay in his cool hide until I come home at about 4pm and put him on his hide. Hes picky and he’ll pick at his bugs throughout the week and he’s been refusing his veggies. So we have been making him veggie smoothies and syringe feeding it to him.

While he’s lazy in his tank. When he comes out he runs all over the place and it very active. I also believe he gets bored when we aren’t home thus the hiding.

My question is, is this bowel movement a cause for concern? He had a bowel movement on Saturday (I did put his poop in the fridge). He also goes about once a week. I did contact his vet and we chatted this morning, I asked if they needed the sample to run but they are going to get back to me. That was at 8am it is now almost 2 and they have no gotten back to me. Which makes me wonder if it was one time, is it really a cause for concern?

Mild Update: the vet said to monitor and if he has another abnormal poop, he should be seen.

However, Any feedback or advice would be great! I really appreciate you all!

Surface basking temps should be 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer--- are you feeding any supplements ? What have you fed that could be red or orange-- to me the poop looks pretty good but too many supplements can cause the off color stool urate-- have you gone over the UVB your using?
