reptar not feeling well?

[X0lnm0X]

my bearded dragon reptar used to bask all day and eat around 30 or so large crickets at a time and a lot of his salad, but now all of a sudden his behaviors have changed and it's scaring me. in the morning he'll seem restless and move all around his cage, climbing and what not. and then a little later in the day he'll hide under his basking spot. when i take him out he seems fine and normal. he also hasn't been eating very much.. today he ate 2 or 3 large crickets. the day before none. the day before that maybe like 4. so as you can see, he hasn't been eating much. he also hasn't been eating his salads like he usually does. his poops also seem watery/mucusey. and he hasn't pooped as much or as big as he used to. does anyone know what could be wrong with him?

i also forgot to add that he will go right after a meal worm. i don't like to feed him them often at all, so i don't give him much, but he'll eat them up right away...

First, how old is this dragon ? When was the last fecal exam ?
What are basking temps, and how do you measure them?

i don't know exactly how old he is, i got him about 6 months ago... and so he's probably about 8 months old. and his last fecal exam was when i first got him. his basking temp is 105-110 and i don't know what it's called what i use to measure it, but it's like a temp gun thing i guess?

Sounds like it's time for a new fecal exam.
