So my bearded dragon has been running to a corner and running her head throughout the glass/ pacing in the tank. she also had a problem with pooping a week or two ago and to solve this problem I gave her a pumpkin puree mixed with olive oil and mineral oil and that seemed to do the trick, but today when she pooped it had this weird look to it. She has been eating fine as well. The tank is 50 gallons and her basking temp are 110F and the cool side is around 80F.

Where is the UVB? in tank or top of screen -- what is is diet --- lots of squash - cucumbers? anything that has a lot of water content will cause runny stools along w/ parasites - the oils could be still passing thru the system as well - watch next poop and see what it does - in the meantime your UVB should be properly placed and distanced for the tank / screen

Lots of causes for glass surfing ---- they would need to be ruled out - one the tank is not big enough- recommended size for a full size dragon 120 gallon -- is it a female or male ? If female has she ever laid eggs? Surface basking temps UVB placement and ambient temps in the tank all can cause glass surfing-- its a guessing game and trying to solve the cause

Ok you can start there - if you need websites for tanks please ask I can post some for you-- in the mean time get her out for like 2 hours see what she does after putting her back in - is she glass surfing constantly or only after eating etc?
