Watery and some blood in poop

Not open for further replies.
My 18m old male dragon has been brumating the past couple months. I wake him every few days to eat/bask/poop and sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't. Today he pooped and it was very watery and had a tiny streak of what looked like blood. He also acted like he was struggling for the poop part. His diet consists of kale/dandelion greens/ carrots and celery (through a food processor finely chopped) and acorn squash (boiled) daily but not always all at once, fruits on occasion. I have Dubia I offer daily but he doesn't always eat them since he has been brumating. He has a UVB strip that goes across his whole tank and also a MVB for his basking spot. Temps are 105-110 on his basking spot and down to 70-75 on his cool side (he only typically sleeps over here) his middle section averages 80-85. I worry about impaction but wanted to get others opinions.
Thanks!!

Hello,

This can be somewhat common, if they strain a bit to go to the bathroom. His urates though, don't appear to be hard based on the picture, is that correct?
Which supplementation are you using?
Your temperatures sound good & his diet is great also.
Which tube UVB are you using & how old is it?

His tube bulb is a 36" t8 reptisun 10.0 and his mercury vapor bulb is 125 watts I think...both have been bought within the past 2 months...urates are not hard at all

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
