New Pooping Habit...oh yay

[maskedburito]

Hi all,

So my beardie (4 months old) has a new horrible habit. He will not poo all day, until you pick him up, then about 5 minutes into holding him he poops. Horrible!

He previously loved being held and never did this. Now he is super antsy when being held, and the pooping thing. Is this an age thing?

Hi,
What does the poop look like? Is it solid and healthy or really runny?

Hi! His poop is usually one solid black piece with a lot of runny white and sometimes yellow liquid. And boy does it smell...

I would try offering a warm bath at around the same time every day. This will encourage him to poop and get him into a routine of going at around the same time (and in the same, easy to clean spot). If it continues to be clear the room stinky you may want to bring a sample to the vet for analysis.
