The log is how far under the basking light? 12-15 inches is what it should be- and directly under it

You need to raise the UVB or what length is the UVB fixture? If its a 24" go get a 5.0 bulb and you will be good-- distance will be good at 8"-- right now those rays are too strong for distance- post pic of the poop
Nevermind- it looks good - any diet changes as to why you say it looks weird

Id say the poo looks normal aswell (not all poo is gonna be a perfect brown log) , she’s definitely lacking something in her diet as sadie said thats why she’s trying to eat her carpet, maybe thats why the stool looks that way , idk if it’s already been stated but is ur calcium expired? What was her diet for the past 3 days?

Hi; How old is the Beardie? If under 6Mnths old; she needs proteins 4times a day alongside her plate of greens/veggies. Last feeding lights need to be on for 2 Hours, that’s how long it takes to digest the food. Also, she is Impacted if she hasn’t pooped in 3Days. How much Calcium are u giving? Sometimes people over calcium. U give REPCAL 3-4 times/week & only once per day & on a non calcium day u sprinkle HErptivite. U lightly sprinkle it on the proteins like salt on fries till they are lightly powdered. For now, give her a warm bath in lukewarm dechlorinated water for 15min min & rub her tummy downwards so she can poop. Don’t feed any mealworms or dried pellets ever. Only feed crickets & Dubia roaches & the feeders cannot be bigger than the space between her 2eyes. Large crickets of shes over 7mnths old & smalls/mediums if she’s younger. If she’s over a year old u can also Ad superworms, but they are high in fat so don’t over some it. Also, is her poop firm and oval? Or runny/soft/smelly? If it’s soft she mite have Coccidia it’s deadly & needs a vet asap & all cage/items need to be burned & washed In hot water. Coccidia makes them eat a lot or barely eat it depends; it’s like lice in the tummy. Find a good reptile Vet and do a Fecal sample to see the results & keep the cage super duper clean. Best way is to use white terry cloth towels as a substrate so u can remove & wash & place fresh ones. She needs a plate of greens/veggies everyday mix 2-3 of each especially yellow squash it has lots of calcium; alongside the proteins. The everyday ones are: mustard greens, dandelions, yellow squash, butternut squash, green beans, snap peas & endives. Cut them up to size. A few times a week u can give blueberries, mangoes & papaya as treats in addition to the proteins/greens. Everyday place a plate in the cold side u can switch it 3-4 hours later so it’s fresh & not wilted.
Hi Dubias & Crickets are the best proteins; I can add super worms only if the Beardie is over a year old & hornworms after a year old as well as treats; their digestive tract cannot handle it earlier than a year of age. Both are High in Fat also, so don’t feed too much. Carrots I wud omit or only a few times a month it’s high on vitamin A which is toxic. Collard greens are good & mustard greens & dandelions & for veggies def yellow squash it’s high in calcium & butternut squash and green beans/snap peas & endives are all everyday very good ones. Def Ad the squash for sure.
Reptivite, you can get it from any reptile store. Dust food with it, bugs and greens. She's missing some vitamins in her diet and is looking for anything that has it. I would highly suggest you get her out of the substrate until you get her a few days of reptivite at the minimum to prevent her from clogging up her system and you ending up with a much larger problem. I know when mine needs a more frequent dusting because she will try to chew on a large rock. After a couple days of dusting, she stops and goes back to normal.
