Possible Parasites?

I'm concerned about the appearance and odor of my beardie feces. I'm uncertain if her stool appears normal or if it may indicate a potential parasite issue. She looks healthy and has a good appetite, activity level, and stable weight, but the shape and smell of her feces worries me.

Tank is in optimal condition, with appropriate UVB and temperature levels but the strong smell and the shape of her stool worries me. My other bearded dragon's feces have a minimal odor compared to this dragon.

Could these indicators suggest a parasitic infection, or are they within the realm of normal variation for bearded dragons?

Here are two images of her stool. I do feed fresh greens daily so that could be a reason for the water in the stool.

Appreciate any insights.

Take a fecal in and have them test it- it looks like there is some undigested bugs in the stool - what are your surface basking temps and how are you taking them?

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hey! We’re the same age! That’s cool!
Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
