Heyheyhey, I don't wanna be the cause of an argument here.

EBWhite meant well, and the advice was good - read up on caresheets and then come back and ask specific questions. Telling species apart that look as similar as these do is hard, which is why I came here for opinions. My dragon looks almost exactly like your male, and so I believe you might be right as to what it is. EB doesn't have the same resources you do, and made the best conclusion on the evidence at hand.

The caresheets I have read all say take the lizard/the poop to the vet for a fecal, so that is what I am going to do. I'll keep in mind what you have said and see what the vet says about treating the lizard. He's obviously doing well without having been treated for parasites, but I just want to make sure there's nothing really bad lurking in his little bowels.

Thank you again Jobi for your excellent information and advice.
