Is this poop normal? It looks a bit strange. The urate looked kind of chalky. I feed her 8-10 half inch dubias a day. Her cool side is 80 and hot side is 100. I use a 10.0 T5 22" zoo med uvb bulb. It's 12-14 inches from her decor. I feed her collard greens and butternut squash for her salad. She usually eats a little bit of it each day, sometimes she eats better than others. She is 6-9 months old. I give her normal calcium daily and d3 1-3 times a week and multivitamin once. A lot of her urate has been yellow. I've had trouble getting her hydrated and she occasionally has digestion problems. The poop this time stunk a lot. She recently had pinworms but received treatment and the vet said they were gone.

The butternut squash could be causing the issue please lay off that for now -- we need to rule it out -- start rinsing the collard greens before serving -- its good shes eating them start adding other stuff to the diet give her a variety -- you can add occasional fruit fruit has a lot of sugar in it so give occasionally
http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder -- her poop looks good but if the urate is chalky and dried out looking she is dehydrated --
try adding some worms to her diet -- super worms https://flukerfarms.com/live-superworms-buy-bulk-super-worms/ these will come in a tube so you will need a plastic cup / tub w/ bran to feed or regular oatmeal you can feed carrots for hydration -- these are really nice super worms -- you will haft to order a 100 at a time - I cant find bran so I am feeding the oatmeal -- horn worms www.dubiaroches.com they have really nice horn worms -- these grow really fast so order small amounts they are a great hydrating worm -- meal worms feed the worms as treats the horn you can feed 1-2 every day since they grow so fast the others every 2-3 days -- she will get hooked on them --

Interesting. I thought squash was a good staple? Are there any readily available veggies that I can feed often to add some color to her salad? I do rinse the collards, as well as the dish. And yeah I have definitely had issues with hornworms getting to big to feed. Is it safe to cut them in half?
