Undigested crickets in his poop?

[Novia]

I'm pretty sure my beardie is healthy, I'm just wondering why he has some undigested cricket in his poop... For the first two weeks I had him (I've only had him about 2.5 now) he always pooped regularly every day it always was just solid brown with the white at one end but 2 days ago he hadn't pooped by bedtime so I gave him a bath before bed and got him to poop in the bath, yesterday he didn't poop at all then he just pooped today but there's undigested stuff in it... I'm curious what could be causing it. He is just a baby maybe 2-3 months his main food is crickets for now but i have some reptiworms and silk worms in the mail. He doesn't really like to eat his veggies. He loved romaine for about 2 days and now he won't eat it anymore. I was giving him 3 mealworms per day but I haven't given him any the past 2 days.

It's possibly just an upset stomach that will resolve on it's own shortly. It could also be a problem with heat or UVB exposure. What type of UVB light are you using and what are the temperatures in the enclosure? It's not unusual for them to not want greens at that age. Here is a list of good items to offer in a salad for reference. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

I have a compact reptisum 5.0 for UVB the temps are about 115 on the hot side and idk on the cold side but he never really goes over there except to eat.

In that case, the digestion issues could be coming from the lighting/heat. It's very important to get an accurate reading of the temperatures in the enclosure. You want the basking surface to be 100-110 with a gradient of 90s around that and down to 75-85 on the cool side. A temperature gun (~$20 on Amazon) is a great tool for reading temperatures on the surfaces of the tank. You can also get a digital thermometer with a probe for about $12 at a pet store or online. They are cheaper but take about half an hour to get an accurate reading in each spot.

The coil UVB isn't enough for a dragon. The 5.0 UVB lights are lower output and designed for shade lizards. I also advise using a tube style UVB light in order to provide a nice wide, even spread of UVB across the tank. If you can, I'd get a T5 ReptiSun 10.0 and a T5 fixture to put on top of the tank. I would at least get a T8 fixture w/reflector and a ReptiSun 10.0 T8 bulb to provide proper UVB. I'll be glad to help you find exactly what's needed if you'd like. Once you have the temperatures and UVB exposure straightened out, it should make a world of difference.
