Hi guys! Today I called to book a fecal test, then the vet told me it’s best that I bring him over too. They don’t really do the mailing fecal sample thing.

Since I’m bringing them the fecal sample in person anyway, and it’s only an hour drive, I feel like it’s worth it to take him with me. Just for a general check up.

Any other tests should be done other than the fecal? Or any questions I should ask? Draco is currently 5 months old, eating and pooping regularly, quite active, never black beard. Has Reptisun 10.0 T8 uvb inside tank w/ decor 6-8 inch below. Basking spot 105-95F, cold side 85F. Eats endive/mustard greens/squash salad, then 3 big silkworms or 7-10 dubias everyday. Gets calcium powder dusted 5 times a week, multivitamin 2 times a week.

The only weird thing that he does is he bulges his eyes, then in the process of un-bulging them he also does a burping motion. Happens once a day. I appreciate any and all advice! :D

He's going to shed on his eyes- I would get all copies of any test done but to be honest I would not have anything done- he's pretty young - so just the fecal

Noted! Yeah I’ll ask for all copies of his results

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
