Hi Cruz...it was probably just the combination of things he ate. Lettuce is not a good green [ romaine is not as bad as iceberg, which should be avoided ] but better greens are turnip, mustard, collard and dandelion. Hornworms are nutritious but contain ALOT of liquid. Those 2 things are probably the culprit. Also,. anytime several new foods are eaten it can cause runny stools. And always allow at LEAST 2 hours before lights out. He should be fine though.

one more question he hasnt basked this morning after he did his duties he hasnt gone back on his basking rock hes hiding behind it in the corner but hes never done this i herd about relocation stress but any ideas on what it can be or how i can help him i got him about a week and a half ago but moved him to a bigger tank 3 days ago

It sounds like he has relocation stress all over again. A new beardie needs time to be able to get used to his new home, and it can take different amounts of time for every beardie. Just be patient. It would be good to list his entire set up, including type + brand of lights, temps. throughout the tank, substrate, etc. to be sure everything's O.K.
