KarrieRee":1p10lslv said:Ok so the UVB is good and temps are good - I would say maybe parasites --- is he hydrated? Both will cause lack of appetite and parasites cause of both the not eating and the not feeling good -- what does his poop look like ? is it real runny -- the smell so bad it makes you want to leave the room? dehydration the urate is gonna be dry and chalky looking

Usually parasites the poop smells so bad it makes you want to leave the room type of smell - get a weight on him a kitchen scale will work weigh in grams and watch it for a week or so see if hes losing weight -- if he sees its time to see a vet --- it could be just him being lazy --- so hes eating and basking? correct? Does he have a hide in the tank? Not sure why he would be getting a black beard after eating -- odd - what does his diet consist of?
