Slight Concern

Long time (again), anyways I haven't been very active but Nero is doing well (I think). So I believe she has pinworms, recently she hasn't been pooping regularly, and the stools are ridiculously huge. She is not lethargic, she has an appetite,she is hydrated, her behavior is all normal but that. I can get her to poop by putting her in a bath and the poop isn't bloody it looks normal just big. I wash all her vegetables and fruits before feeding, she gets calcium and vitamins regularly.

(Also my lizard is a boy I just used she/her for it because I thought it was a girl, and the femoral pores are unclogged) Please help

Her poops would be really stinky I mean so bad it will make you leave the room for pinworms --- the poops will be really runny and she could be not eating and lethargic for worms / parasites -- if you are concerned w/ her having pinworms / parasites' etc you can take a fecal in for testing --- NO ENEMAS-- I am thinking its the diet --- just because she has big poops doesnt mean she has parasites/ pinworms -- how often are you feeding fruits -- those should be fed occasionally --- not every day staple --- her diet should be consistent of greens and a protein staple feeder --- too much veggies that contain alot of water like squash green peppers NO lettuce at all -- romaine is fine no iceberg lettuce --- those will tend to give watery poops - if shes pooping extra water just means shes hydrated

I don’t feed her fruit very often, she eats mainly vegetables (collard greens, bok choy, etc). She eats feeder insects too but not as often as vegetables because she is an adult. Her poop doesn’t smell strong and it’s not runny.
Thank you for the recommendations.

Next poo post a pic, we’re pretty good at what’s weird looking vs what’s normal, what feeders are you using? And whats a normal basking time that the lizard basks?
