**warning fecal images** Not Normal Defecation

[launpalm]

Hi, found this "present" this morning and it does not look normal to me. Drogo has not had any issues in the past with odd looking fecal matter, so I am just checking as I have not seen anything like this before.

His temps/lighting are all in the clear and he has been active like usual. There have been no changes in his diet - all he has had in the past few days have been crickets and collard greens. The only thing that I think could have upset his system is that yesterday he spent majority of the day fighting his reflection in his tank. I put paper up on the walls so he couldn't see anything, but he was still mad. When I bring him out to play, he is always being watched.

To me, there looks like there is a meal worm in the poo, but I haven't fed him any for about a week. He only gets them occasionally for a treat.

Just a concerned beardie mom

Oh dear, that's definitely not normal poop. It looks as though he may have a parasite. How is he now?

That looks like a sperm plug with some urate attached to it for some reason. If that's the case then it's not harmful but it shouldn't appear again in the next poop. Has this been a one off thing or has the poop been odd looking for a while?
