can a beardie have parasites...

[Brenna]

even if their poop doesnt smell like it should if they have parasites?

Stinky waste is just one symptom of parasites - if you have reason to believe they might be an issue, you can have a fecal test done to see.

If you're not sure, and not sure about spending the money without more certainty, you could explain why you think parasites might be the issue and people here could tell if you they think, in their opinion, if it's likely or perhaps something else.

ive posted about the same issue just about 5 times. She's not eating besides what i making her take with a syringe and her poop is a small green nugget followed by a bunch of liquid. in another post i asked about impaction and in two others i described the whole issue in more details. i tried to get a picture up just now, but for some reason my phone isnt wanting to cooperate with my email.

Hmmm. What are her enclosure temps? What kind of UVB bulb are you using/how old is it?

she's a year and a half... abouts... slightly older... uvb is a repti glo 2.0 26w. temps are about 100-105 in basking spot, bout 80 on cool side.

The temps sound good, but I'm thinking the UVB bulb you have might be causing a lack of appetite. ReptiGlo's are known to not be good for beardies, causing a whole slew of health issues (you can do a forum search on here to see all of the various problems they cause).

I would get the bulb out of there ASAP, and try getting her outside into the sunshine - even just a 1/2 hr/day, more if you can.

You will want to get a ZooMed ReptiSun 10.0 tube, or an Arcadia d3 12% tube - these are the only UVB bulbs recommended for beardies.

Try the sunshine - I bet it will spark her appetite.

hmmm, ive never even used another brand though, why would it be causing problems now? im using the same on my other beardie and hes perfectly fine.

Some people have used the bulb with no issues - I'm not sure why some people have huge issues with it, and some have no issues. :|

I'd still get her outside for some sunshine and see if that doesn't help.

Also, is it possible that she is gravid?
