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.

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
