She also hadn't pooped in...

    Healthy stool sample?

    Has anybody ever been told by a vet that their dragon's fecal sample was healthy/free of parasites? I know that might be a dumb question, but let me explain. I brought my dragon to a vet recently to get a fecal sample done. This vet isn't a reptile specialist, but he does see reptiles. My...
