My beardie has the tendency to excrete what I would call a moderate amount of fluid everytime she deficates. Her poop is well formed, it's just it comes out in a little puddle of water almost all the time. Should I get this checked out...is this normal or should I get some Parazap which I have been hearing rave reviews about lately?

It just means your beardie is well hydrated. : )

Agreed!

If the poop is solid and looks good,you have no reason to worry.

Thanks for your replies. I was thinking that it might be that because I keep my crix well fed with fresh carrots and when he eats them they are very plump with carrot/water. I was worrying if that was classified as diarrhea or not.

It sounds normal to me. As long as the stool is well formed, doesn't reak so bad you flee the room, it's fine. My bearded also has a nice pool of water around his poo as well, especially now that I feed him silkworms instead of crickets. Big plump bodies, little to no undigested exoskeleton, unlike crickets who have a fair bit. Only big side affect..I am going to have to get bigger paper towels to scoop all that mess up without risking getting it on my hands.

well, as far as her poop, it doesn't smeel like toxic waste but doesn't smell like roses either, I think it smeels a lot like human poop.
