What are the temps lookin like? Also a fecal sample might be in order, most vets charge like $10 for a fecal.

Good call Nico... low temps can produce undigested stools

i would agree with that but there is one problem he is alwase basking all the time but when i mist him he doesent bask i dunno why

so what could be the problem i havent changed his lights or anything and all his other poop is normal could it be that he just stuffed his face with crickets ? or whatt elce ?

thanks for your guyses help your of great help

Have you checked the temp of his basking area and just the general ambient temperature (not under the basking light)? If he spends all his time basking, it may be too cool overall, hence the digestion problem as mentioned in the above posts. It should be in the 70's ambient temp with a basking spot around 85-90, depending on his age.

are you sure he didnt throw up the food. maybe the crickets/worms are too big and he cant digest them all?

It's probably puke. post a pic, if you can.

If fed a lot of waxworms or butterworms, or sometimes worms in general, they often throw up. Sometimes, if overfed, or over watered (drink too much at one time - especially cold water), they'll do the same.

The confusing thing is that it's often neatly packed like feces - not a disorganized mass like you'd expect.

If he defecated, it would have clear sac covering the food and a urate(white) at the end of it.

If he vomited, it would have a little mucus covering the undigested food and it wouldn't have a clear sac covering the food or a urate.
