Stinky diarrhea/watery poop

[wolfiemorph]

Hello

I just got my bearded dragon 4 or 5 days ago. His poops have been normal; he's been pooping every morning.

I just changed his substrate this evening. This morning he had some diarrhea, I think, and I picked it up. (He was still on sand this morning)

His new substrate is the Exo Terra Sand Mat.

Anyways, Just after his first bath, I put him nice and clean and into his nice and clean tank. Then he POOPED. Right after his bath!!

But back to my main question. His poop just now and his poop this morning seemed watery; there was extra liquid that came out as he pooped. It was really wet.

He has a low-wattage heat bulb and a coil UVB bulb. I know, i need to get these fixed... I got an MVB bulb today but I need something to hold it above the tank ):

Anyways. He eats Zoo Med's canned crickets and collard greens every day.

For this week he had carrots in his salad every day, and today I gave him some bell peppers in his salad....

Here's a pic of his poop.. lol

Sorry it's not the best pic

Hello,

That actually doesn't look too bad. A lot of dragons tend to have some water/fluids with each
stool. Though, if it is pretty smelly, it might be a good idea to get a fecal done to see if he
has a high levels of worms or parasites that could be causing the problems.
Which brand of MVB did you get & what wattage is it?
Which greens are you feeding him?

Thanks!

I actually can't use the MVB right now, sadly... the bulb sticks out of the fixture, so I have to get a thing to suspend the lamp above the tank so that it doesn't burn the screen of his tank..

But the MVB I have for him(when I get the stand, I'll use it for him) is a Fluker's 100 watt bulb.

But right now, he's using a heat lamp that's probably less than 50 watt.. it came with him when I got him. He also has a coil UVB.

I'm feeding him collard greens. Last week he had carrots in his salad and this week he'll have bell peppers. He also has crickets mixed in with his salad.

His poop this morning didn't look like it did before; he pooped on a t-shirt, so that might've been it. It just looked really wet. I didn't get a picture, sorry.
