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.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
