My dragon is about 2 years old and all of sudden her poop has become runny and smelly(er). First thought was obviously parasites right? Wrong. Fecal test came back totally clear. She only goes around once every couple of weeks and the last two have not been solid at all. Looks like chili with no discernable urate. Over the last 2 months she's laid 2 separate clutches of about 25 eggs each. Appetite is fine. Devours both bugs and greens bugs and greens are you feeding?

Mustard/Collard/Dandelion Greens everyday. Bugs (Dubai Roaches/Silkworms/BSFL) 3 x per week.What greens and bugs are you feeding? How much?
Do you feed things like squash or bell peppers? If so how much and how often? What’s the tank temps ? Do you have a linear UVB?Mustard/Collard/Dandelion Greens everyday. Bugs (Dubai Roaches/Silkworms/BSFL) 3 x per week.
Bell peppers once in a while. Arcadia Linear UVB, basking temp 98-104, humidity 30-40%.Do you feed things like squash or bell peppers? If so how much and how often? What’s the tank temps ? Do you have a linear UVB?
I’m… honestly not sure, could you post a picture?

Too much squash will give runny stools -please post a pic of the poopBell peppers once in a while. Arcadia Linear UVB, basking temp 98-104, humidity 30-40%.
Don’t have one handy. She only poops once every 10 days or so. Will post one as soon as I have one. She doesn’t really get squash. Outside of greens, it’s just bell peppers once in a while and maybe strawberries as a treat once very 2 weeks. Ever since this has started it seems like her appetite has increased A LOT. I was sure her fecal test was going to be positive for some type of parasite.Too much squash will give runny stools -please post a pic of the poop

Okay… next time she does defecate snap a picture for us to take a look at; don’t know why iI didn’t ask before, what’s your UVB and heat sources? No coils — how are you measuring your temps? What are they? Should be between 95-110 degrees.Don’t have one handy. She only poops once every 10 days or so. Will post one as soon as I have one. She doesn’t really get squash.

Linear tube uvb (Arcadi) 150 watt bulb for heat. Basking temps always around 100-105. Temps measured with a temp gun and digital themometer.Okay… next time she does defecate snap a picture for us to take a look at; don’t know why iI didn’t ask before, what’s your UVB and heat sources?

Fantastic! Your husbandry is spot on so I doubt it’s caused by such a thing, you could try supplementing probiotics. That helped my guy like crazy when he had some unknown case of diarrhea a couple weeks ago.Linear tube uvb (Arcadi) 150 watt bulb for heat. Basking temps always around 100-105.

Here is a couple of pics of the latest explosion…..yuck. Kinda looks like indigested BSFL.Fantastic! Your husbandry is spot on so I doubt it’s caused by such a thing, you could try supplementing probiotics. That helped my guy like crazy when he had some unknown case of diarrhea a couple weeks ago.
Yes, it looks like BSFL. You could try cutting back on those to see if that makes a difference, in the meantime I would try and get my hands on some probiotics.Here is a couple of pics of the latest explosion…..yuck. Kinda looks like indigested BSFL.
Make sure the bugs are no bigger then the size between her eyes. What supplements are you using?Here is a couple of pics of the latest explosion…..yuck. Kinda looks like indigested BSFL.
