Beardy advice please

[Snake_Gal]

I have a gorgeous big male yellow phase Beardy.
He's 4yrs old and mainly feeds on crickets, fresh fruit and veg.
I have had him for nearly a year and have not changed his diet.

His tank has heated floors as well as lamps for heat and light.
The floors are kept at 20degrees, the lights keep the tank at about 32deg hot and 27-8 cool.

Yesterday he threw up twice and has VERY smelly and runny poo.
Now I am starting to worry a little.
Any advice as to what may be happening?

sounds like a trip to the vet is needed. maybe there was something posionous on the fruit or veg that you fed him.

hmmm.... I'm hoping not.
He is looking alot better today but I am just a little concerned.

I'd seek a Vet check. Take a sample of the poo also.

Ideally those temps should be a little hotter also. Basking spot alone should range from mid 30's to 40 degrees roughly and the cool end of the enclosure should be around mid 20's.

Hope all goes well.

Sounds like he possibly may have some excess parasites, as said, take a fresh stool sample and the lizard to the vet. Beardies often get pin worms ect, they are easily treated.
