Poop

I’ve been going through these forums and just researching. I ran across a few regarding worms and parasites in poop. So my baby bearded dragon poops are very long worm like…I just figured it was probably from mealworms that he gets occasionally . But he only poops ever other day and when he does it’s so much. Like 2 long logs with a light white at the end. It’s not like a pile of poop, literally long. And it stinks soooooo bad! But when I flush it down the toilet all I see once it hits the water it breaks apart and I see like green stuff, I’m assuming is her greens

Post a picture of it please, but it sounds normal in shape.
The smell is concerning however, no poop smells good, it's poop. But if it's strong enough to make you gag, that can be a sign of parasites.
I suggest collecting a sample in a zip lock, don't refrigerate it and drop it a the vet for testing within 24 hours of collecting it.
DO NOT LET THE VET DO AN ENEMA TO GET A SAMPLE. It ends in tragedy more times than not.
Don't pay an extortionate amount for the testing. I was paying 47.00 here in Vegas, but the last test went up to 55.00. I've seen post were the vet tried to charge a couple hundred, if that's the case take it elsewhere.

I was going to take a picture yesterday but he never pooped. Hopefully he does today and I’ll take a picture! Yea I’ve read about the enema and that they’re bad for them. So I wasn’t going to let them do that. But yea the smell is foul…smells worse then a human 🤣

He hasn’t pooped yet since the day before yesterday, hoping he does today so I can get a picture if you don’t on his own I’ll put him in a little bit of water which helped the last time for him to poop. But his diet is small Dubai’s, meal worms occasionally and crickets, if he will eat them… he don’t seem too fond of crickets though. I give him greens every day mustard greens, kale and I replenish that 2x a day. he usually won’t eat all the greens in his bowl, but I still would empty out what he didn’t eat and replenish with fresh in the middle of the day. Meal times usually 2 to 3 times a day depending on how much he will eat at each sitting, which would be about five or six debias at a time sometimes he would eat up to 10 when he eats if he eats 10 then I only give him it twice a day.

I would start giving super worms for treats instead of of the meal worms - especially being a baby- if he doesn't like the crickets I would stop feeding - horn worms are good along w/ bsfl and silk worms for a variety of staple insect

Aren’t superworms bigger?

I added pictures of his poop above. His tail messed it all up but it was one long poop and the white stuff.

either she really likes me, or shes hungry
I can’t wait to see Dr.Wilson be a big dragon but I try to cherish hard the moments while he still fits in my hand 🦎
It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
