should I be concerned?

[Malon3r]

So I've had my girl for almost 2 months now. Recently, since she started shedding. She has started to poop maybe once every 2 days from her old of once per day. Only reason I worry is that her stomach is still visibly more bloated and she feels heavier/still full for the day inbetween, but will still eat normally every meal.

I'm mainly just worried about putting too much food into her, and worry that she didn't somehow become impacted.

Info since people will ask:
On paper towels
Reptisun 10.0 tube, 6-7" from dragon.
Basking spot ranges from 103-110.
Cool side 72-85(85ishs area is directly under other light, she seems to like it there most days)
Calcium w/ d3 5x a week, multivitamins 2x a week.
Baths every day, or every 1-3 depending.

how old is you pet?? over time some BD's slow down w/ their poop schedules.. both of mine did as they got older and moved from the baby/juv stages, but as long as you know your BD is hydrated and is pooping every other day still I wouldn't be concerned w/ impaction (just my opinion, I wouldn't worry personally)..

She's anywhere from 3-4 months old I would assume. Breeder @ expo said probably 2 months old at the time, and was 8", now she's about 12" and I guess 3 or 4 months old. So still young

************************
Even though you're giving her baths every day, given the fact that her basking spot is 103-110°F, she'd be more likely to be dehydrated due to the excess heat. If you are able, try lowering the temps to be between 98-103°F. Then, try giving her oral fluids daily, averaging 2-3 ml a day. You can use a pediatric medicine dropper and drip water onto her lips.

Some beardies aren't able to hydrate enough through their vents (Pookie is one of them) and will need oral fluids to supplement.

when i give her a bath i always sit there and just dip my finger in the water and put drops on her nose. some times she drinks, other tiems she doesnt. So I think shes ok with the vent thing.. unless she is just dehydrating herself.
Should i really make it that lower of a temp? I thought that was only for when they get closer to the adult age.

A high of 103°F is plenty hot enough for a baby. 110°F is a bit too high, which could cause her to be dehydrated faster.
