So....this is going to be about poop. Sorry! Spencer typically poops every day or every other day, almost exclusively in a bath. Today he pooped three times. Two were normal and then there was this crazy thing. It's like mummified Dubia roaches and hornworms. Typical stools are softish brown with a firm white urate connected. This thing is solid (I think...obviously I wasn't going to dissect it) and like 2" long.
Several days ago he seemed big bellied but acted normal and was still eating enthusiastically. He's gaining weight, currently he's 160 grams/14.5" long at 21 weeks of age and that's up from the 60 grams/11" he was at 15 weeks when we got him.
His tank is a 32"x16" viv, basking spot is ~107 degrees, cool side in the cave is about 76. I have a tube uvb mounted in the tank (but am wondering if I need a different kind because of the distance?). Lights are on a timer and on from 7a-7p. He is bathed about 5 days a week for 5-10 mins- this is usually when he drinks and poops). He always drinks his bath water, like mouth under the water and slurping lol. Diet is 15-20 3/4" Dubia twice daily plus a plate of greens left for him to eat all day (leafy mix mostly- he won't touch it if I add shredded vegs). He is currently on his third shed since we got him, his head just went white yesterday.
Please help me figure this out, I am worried that something is wrong and want to fix it ASAP.
Oh, and the picture.
And here's the guy that came from...last week:
