When you can see the bugs in the poop you don’t have high enough basking temperatures. @kinyonga

Hi. Have you ever had a fecal tested for parasites? If not, it’s a good idea to get that done. I believe Rainbow Mealworms has a mail in test, but it’s always best to see a vet.

Ok thank you guys. His cage stays at about 70-80 degrees.

Also he pooped today once and it was normal so I have no idea haha. Could it be a hydration issue?

What color are his urates?

White and if I notice they get a little tan I mist and water more frequently.

A little bit of yellow or tan is ok. If he keeps pooping a lot, I’d have a fecal done.
