No poop in two days help?

[Donny]

Hello all I need some help Donny didn't poop yesterday or today is this normal? I put some crickets in his cage this morning and he ate as usual then I gave him his greens also but he didn't eat much of those. His temp is around 100degrees and the other is around 80 to 85degrees. I am scared something is wrong I gave him a warm soak and still nothing what do I do??

100 degrees is the basking temp? You can try bumping the temps up a bit. Some dragons just poo every other day or so depending on the dragon. Did you see undigested bug parts when he pooped last?

 

[Donny]

yes i seen a cricket leg. what does that mean?

 

[beardielover17]

Usually thats an indicator of temps being too low

 

[Donny]

what can i buy to get the temp up?

You can pick up a higher wattage bulb for heat or raise the basking platform

What are you using? You can use a regular household bulb. The watt depends on the size of your tank. Say it is a 40 gallon start with a 60 watt bulb. If it isnt high enough go with a 75 watt. Temp should be for about 105* [a little higher for a baby] measured with a digital thermometer.
