I posted a similar photo from my beardie, Nero, quite a while ago, and Tracie said that it's actually pretty normal to see that from time to time but that the orange stuff is urate buildup. She suggested backing off on the calcium to 3X a week (I've since switched to liquid calcium 2X a week; Nero's now an adult) and giving him water or Pedialyte from a dropper instead of just bathing. He still gets baths but now he gets oral fluids every day on top of that and it has made a big difference. At first I used cherry Pedialyte but he used to let it trail down his neck and it would leave pink stains, heh. So now I just use water or sometimes a very dilute apple juice and water mix. He really loves juice days.
Some days his urates are still harder than I'd like but I haven't seen that orange stuff since then. I think Nero is just more of a challenge to keep hydrated generally. Hope this helps
