I saw online that watery/stinky poop isnt a good thing?
He is two i adopted him from a owner who couldnt take care of him anymore. I noticed today that his poop is stinky and watery like. I wish i had a photo but he covered it up with sand.

He has a variety of foods to eat from greens to fruit to superworms i try to vary it as much as i am able to. I recently redid his encloser.

I would get rid of the sand and put down a solid substrate like non adhesive shelf liner. That way it's easier to clean and sanitize so if there is an issue it's less likely to re-infect him during treatment. I would give him at least a few weeks to settle into his new home and new routine before a vet visit. If the runny poop continues for the next few weeks without signs of improvement I would have a sample tested for parasites. Until then I would just try to keep everything as clean and sanitary as possible and let his system settle.

Sorry for the late reply
I have been just monitoring him cleaning his enclosure the best i can. It seems to to have had a better effect. He hasnt had much water in his poop but now its just the stinky part. When i first got him he wasnt stinky as far as i could tell. Or smell. He now poops a semi liquid to solid ish every other or second day. He hates water baths and only is calm in one if im there strocking his head even that doesnt work sometimes. Now i have another concern he is geting dark on his forhead and body his beard/chin is fine. He is dark on his legs bit on the belly and tail

And downgrading the watts to 100 red night bulb by zoomed fixed his black skin i think he got to cold

It looks like normal darkening of scales based on that photo, nothing to worry about. I wouldn't use a red night light because it's visible and could disrupt sleep. Using a ceramic heat emitter or a megaray heat projector is a better choice. You want the overnight temps to stay above about 65 but a drop is natural for them. I like to keep my tank between about 70-75 overnight.

Please don't use a red bulb, or any colored bulbs, or any light emitting bulbs at all at night, light disrupts their sleep greatly, and colored bulbs during in general do not replicate natural sunlight and cause all kinds of issues. He wants his nighttime temperature to drop considerably, just like it does in the desert naturally. So his nighttime temperature should drop well below his daytime temperatures. As long as his tank stays at 65 degrees or above he needs absolutely no nighttime heat source, he's more comfortable at 65 degrees than if you use a Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE), which is the only nighttime heat source you should ever use as it emits no light but rather just heat, but a CHE is only necessary if his tank falls below 65 degrees, and most homes stay at that temp or higher. You have to think about what their natural environment in the Australian desert is like, and try to replicate that in his tank. This is what most people never do, and that's why they're using colored day bulbs and nighttime heat sources to keep their tank at hot temps at night. He'll be much more comfortable and sleep much more soundly if it's pitch black and cool.

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.
