One of my Baby Beardies stools was a green goopy mucus mess.

Hi Guys, the title of this post explains it almost completely, but I have some more information.

I just got my first Beardie pal Yoshi less than a week ago, he has the essential living conditions :

Reptile Carpet
Water (big enough to swim in, not dive but to sit in the water) + Food Bowl
Basking Light (Makes basking spot about 95 Degrees)
UVB Light near the Basking
Basking Area
A House to Hide in (Well, his house is the underside his half cut wooden log.

Etc Etc, I just want it to be known that he has the essentials and that there is not issue with that.

So, the issue : He had a poop yesterday, and it was a big, greenish, goopy see-through mess. This thing looked like straight up MUCUS! In his 3/4 poops he's had for the 4/5 days I've had him, he's never pooped anything like this. Sure, theres been a bit of mucus with his normal looking poops but absolutely nothing like this.

His current diet is :

Calcium Dusted Crickets, 10 per day (10 because he is a small fellow and the crics are labeled "small" but they're big(ish) enough for him to be full after 4/5, then finish the other 4/5 in the evening.

His Food Bowl has a few Fruits for snacks like Carrots and Strawberries (both very small cuts) and I am trying to get him on Collard Greens soon.

I keep his UVB on 12 hours a day, off 12 Hours. No lights during night, (lights are off at about 10:30pm) so far I've been staying up late to make sure the temps are safe for him, and if it gets bad, I plan on buying a Ceramic heater, which I sure will get soon, but right now he stays about 70 Fahrenheit during the night.

I'm not sure what the problem could be! So far it's a one time thing.

Hi there, all beardies can have an occasional strange poo, so it's O.K if it's once in a while but if it persists then you might want to have a fecal test done. A few things to do, get his basking temp. up to 100, 105 tops. Be sure that the rest of the tank has areas that go from about 80 -90. The cool side must be about 80, the warmest [ basking ] spot about 100-105.

Can you post pics of Yoshi + his set up ? Here's how :
