This is Leo’s poop from today:

As you can see clearly from the picture, this is not normal. I think it’s the superworms messing with his system, what should I do with the rest? I have about a 75ct, I’m going to feeding him one a week now instead.

Hmm, my boy is eating superworms for over a week now (dubias previously) and his stool hasn't changed that much. Maybe slightly more undigested chitin parts but certainly not that loose.
That being said, Luis' poop looks like that (only for a day or two) if he's got a little to much fruit or pumpkin.

What’s in his salads? What is is main diet? How many super worms a day? Do you have chickens or other reptiles? How old is he?

Supers shouldn't cause that. Hornworms yeah. Likely it's something in the salad 🥗

When a new food item gets introduced it can sometimes cause loose stools. Especially if the new item was fed in a large quantity.

I have never fed Leo fruit or pumpkin

His salads are kale and collard greens for staples (I ran out of endive), acorn or butternut squash 2x a week. His main diet is a 50/50 split of crickets and salad. He had been getting 3-4 superworms a day. I don’t have any chickens or other reptiles.

Ok, I just needed some reassurance. He only ate 3-4 superworms a day.

Squash is a fruit, tho ;)
I'd keep an eye on it and see if it's only once of if it persists.

Oh- haha I guess that slipped my mind. He doesn’t get any sugary fruits, that’s what I meant. I’ll keep a close eye on his bowel movements.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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
