It could be a number of things -- yes he will go thru relocation stress but there are many things that can cause ruuny poop --- diet -- incorrect basking temps--- UVB-- and parasites ---- so we will start w/ the UVB and the basking temps first--- temps should be 95-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer NO stick ons they are in accurate -- UVB please NO coils --- diet what are you feeding?

yeah, I am getting a new bulb- thats not a coil- within the next few days. i didn't know until earlier today that i shouldn't have one and i will get it fixed! He is eating mealworms, about 5/6 a day and then i leave out collard greens, broccoli and raspberries out for him to munch on. he usually eats most of it.

Please get a good UVB fixture like a Zoo Med Sunblaster or Arcadia w/ a Reptisun bulb 10.0 T 5 --- a 24" fixture -- No Zillas or Thrive brand please --- The Arcadia ProT 5 is good --- those need to be a certain distance and placement so when you get it please post back on here and I will help you place it -- please no more broccoli -- raspberries once in a while here is a nutrition website ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
