I agree with candybugs. I have to stress that this is not good. It could be colouring if you feed him/her red pepper or if he's eating mealworm, which I wouldn't advise!

Get down to a specialist reptile vet, I wouldn't trust a regular vets opinion.

Please let us know how it goes.

That can be organ failure or severe infection whatever it is your guy is internally bleeding. Please go . I strongly believe this is serious.

What pepper are you talking about. Bell pepper?

I hope that too. Don't feed him any more of that.

Vet ASAP! The coloring could be due to the food but that is diarrhea, a lot of it and that is never a good sign in an animal. Cut back on the red colored food and the meal worms, those are very hard to digest and get him to a vet for a good look over.

Maybe it's parasites which is an easy fix. Still need the vet tho. Let us know what happens

Any updates on your dragon???? Stick with dubia stop the mealworms re visit the general care link and open the food item lists...Stick to the basics collards, dandilion, turnip greens, mustard greens, squash, zuc type items for awhile..
Please I hope this dragon has seen a reptile vet...their poop shouldn't be the runs unless your feeding hornworms, and for sure it shouldn't ever be red...

Glad to hear that it was from the red pepper, take a look at the food item links within the general care info link you'll find below several of our comments that will give you lots of info on what can be fed and how often it should be fed... Caution on the cucumbers as you need to remove the seeds and skin but they are full of moisture that can give your dragon really runny poop, making it a good item to give when constipated...Feeding a variety of items is important... Main staples of collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens are great daily items then things like squash, zuc are really good daily items.

depending on where you live it's typically with the parsley, cilantro type well it is here in the states. it might be called something different where you are.
