Bearded dragon poop?

[CrazyLeopardGeckoLady]

I don't know if this is the right forum for it but I just wanted to ask something, so the time I've been a beardie owner I've gotten so used to being pooped on I don't really care about it anymore even the smell doesn't really bother me it has come to the point were he can poop on my back and I just clean it up like normal
So I might be overthinking this but fox doesn't like to poop unless I'm home (as in not at a friends house sleeping over) or he's on me, and that's another thing that I've become very accustomed to.
I kinda think it's because he trusts me or he's just being a little stinker but I don't find it terrible due to the fact that it helps me check his poop if it's healthy or not
Anyone else feel the same way or their beardie does the same thing?
I'm just curious

I don't think it's odd at all really, "knocking on wood" I've not been pooped on But Izzy prefers to do her business in the bath and she seems to be a late morning pooper If I'm not here and I try to get her in the sink later in the afternoon she will wait until the next morning's bath If we are away and our friend stays over she was reluctant to go but with my instructions she was successful But Izzy does prefer her momma I don't mind as like you said I can monitor to make sure all is good.

I think my boy prefers to not poop in his tank – but he does. When he gets out he'll poop anywhere – but not yet on me. My girl will not poop in her tank – and for good reason: it's really stinky. She won't poop on me either. She will push away like she doesn't want to be there – when I put her down she will walk around for a bit and then let 'er rip

Yea that's how Izzy is I don't blame her for not wanting to poop in her home that's some nasty smelling crap but then again if I ate roaches, collard greens etc I guess mine would stink too lol

My boy spends quite a bit of time on me or on my bed with me when he's outside of his tank so If I'm holding him and the muscles in his tummy clench and move I know he's ready for a poop and I try to get his butt over a trash can or outside
He also bloats when he haven't pooped in awhile it's kinda like he's full of air so I know he has to go for that day
It's nice to know that I'm not just crazy :>

Dexter will hold it until she can poop in the tub. If she happens to go anywhere else, she gets very embarrassed. I've only had one poop on me and that was Luci and it was one of those moments where it was either me or the floor so I put my hand out to catch it! Yes, gross but you gotta do what you gotta do LOL! So far we've been lucky that they haven't gone on the carpet or furniture. I'm sure Dolly is going to change that though, she goes 3 or 4 times a day!

That is lucky! Oh dolly is gonna be a little trouble maker isn't she?
I've heard a lot of beardie a prefer to go poop in the bath, is that a common thing?
My bed is always the poor victim that gets pooped on and fox will wipe his booty on it and walk away

 

[PatsyB]

LOL! The booty wipe! I always laugh when Dexter does that in the tub. I've heard a lot of people say theirs goes in the tub. I like that Dexter does because if i'm going to take her somewhere I give her a bath first to know that she won't go when we are out. Some just won't go in the tub though. Luci will occasionally. He does this violent tail snap from side to side and he scratches his side with his front leg and I know he's going to poop in the water. It's so funny when you learn the tells.

It is!
Foxy doesn't go poop in the tub, he's only done that once but he tends to not poop often and it long enough to make me worry that he's constipated but when he does go his poop is healthy and giant like he was waiting for me to be there

That's how Izzy is she holds out for her bath What a image hahaha I let Izzy run around the back room it has crappy carpet anyways but so far she is a really good dragon.
