urite question

[mojo505]

sometimes the amount of white poop is almost equal to the amount of green/brown poop. sometimes the urite is really hard, is that common?

facts: 5 months old
gets a 15 bath at least everyother day as well as soaks himself daily in his dish
eats protien 2xday and greens daily
cal/d3 morning dusting on crickets 5 days a week
vit dust 1 morning a week
heat bulb basking temp 105 (digital)
cooler area 85
UVB coil (1 month old)

The urates seem to be okay to me. But I would ditch the Coil UVB. They are known to cause health problems to the dragon. I can't really explain it but I know many people on here have explained it. You can use a MVB which is heat & UVB all inone which is very nice or the Repti SUN 10 not Repti GLO florescent tube. Those two types are safer. Ordering online is way cheaper. A lot of us order from petmountain.com.

thanks, he's about to go in a larger living space where he can have a MVB and the best of the best. he came home such a little guy but leaps and bounds he's out-growing his starter space. so i agree with the suggested change. i am taken back by how much he poops, how much urate there is sometimes and how fast he's growing. we are not into power feeding anything... especially our red tail boa who had a growth spurt last month too.

appreciate the feedback!
