Help! Our beardie all of a sudden was sitting with his mouth open and his beard was darker and then he went and pooped. This poop is huge and watery and green and smelly! There is a weird chunk in it as well as a little blood which looks like maybe from pushing it out?! He has been normal however I did just notice he seems to be shedding his skin on his back! Should I be concerned?

May have parasites, watery, blood, smelly. Need to get poop tested.
Brown crickets are the ones that carry parasites normally. Are you feeding the brown crickets or feeding banded which are better?

Hello,

Can you get a picture of your dragon, along with your tank setup so we can see his physical
condition?
Is this the first time he has had this type of stool, with blood, etc? As suggested, he may have
a high level of worms or parasites causing some intestinal distress. Or, if he had to strain a lot,
then that can sometimes cause blood as well. Were his urates hard or soft?
You can try giving a mix of sugar free apple sauce, mixed with canned or fresh pumpkin & a few
drops of organic olive or coconut oil. Simply mix it up & use a plastic dropper or syringe dripped
onto his nose a few times per week.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
