Digestive Problem?

[bradlush]

This might be totally normal, but I'm a little concerned so here goes it...
Misa my first bearded dragon is 3 years old about 17' nose tip to tail tip, female.
Yesterday when I put her in her bath she made a bowel movement that appeared normal, followed by what looked like and had the texture of a 3 inch stick of chalk, could this be undigested calcium, or something of the like? I've had her about two weeks now and I'm taking her for her first vet check on saturday. I'm just a little concerned about this so any help is appreciated, thanks.

That sounds perfectly normal. That would be the dragon's urates. They do not urinate liquid the way other animals do, but rather a solid which contains the waste products. This is to make the most of the water in their system because they are adapted to a very dry, desert climate.

Thanks I feel much better hearing that.
