Hello - we adopted a 2 year old male dragon a few weeks ago. His poop has always been pretty consistent but now I am concerned about a couple of things after reading on here and other reptile sites.
First - It has until today always been brown "logs" surrounded by a fair amount of liquid. I always assumed the liquid was pee but I keep reading it should be solid or pasty for urine. It's been the sticky liquid since day one of bringing him home.
Two - today he had a much different poo. Has the normal brown but also has an additional white with red tint poo to go with it. Same with the sticky liquid. See photo.
Diet since it will be asked - mustard greens or collard greens, maybe some kale daily. Also give yellow squash almost daily. Two to three times a week we also give a little fruit. Blueberries or small pieces of watermelon since both are still in season (we happen to be growing a lot of his diet). He loves blueberries! Usually give him 5 at a time.
Insects - Dubia roaches and superworms. Those are given every other day. Roaches he gets 3 or 4 depending on size or the worms up to 5 depending on size. He dust his insects in calcium powder since he doesnt like it on his daily salads. He does NOT get both insects, it is just one or the other and we alternate. It looks like part of a worm in the lower part of the photo. He had worms two days ago.
Water - he does not have a water bowl. We have high humidity during the summer so try and limit water in his enclosure. We assume his salad and occasional fruit gives him plenty and give him a bath one to two times a week. Humidity is 40%. I read the liquid could be over hydration but it would have to be just from his salad. The fruit was only introduced a couple weeks into ownership and he still had the sticky liquid prior.
Thanks for any help!
