my new beardies weren't kept the best it seems like. They appear relatively healthy, but dirty. I already gave them a bath and working on getting there enclosure here to the right temps. My question is they have some "stains" on there body from poop and there encolusre not getting cleaned by previous person who had them. Ways to take care of this/clean this? Things to watch out for?

will kill many bacteria's that can be on their skin/scales. Also, in time, they will shed and lose those stains, but we have also noticed when rehab dragons come in and we use the nolvasan to bath them, they seem to start a shed within the next week.
It is also used on dragons that have fungal problems and they will shed off those areas almost immediately.
You can buy it usually from a vet or from a Feed & Seed Store or any place that carries cattle/horse products, it runs about $16- $18 for a bottle that makes up two gallons. We also use this to clean all the tanks and enclosure, I love it and would be lost without it.
The only time I was out of it and used just soap/water and diluted bleach is the only time in the last three years we had protozans and coccidia show up again in a few dragons. I will NOT run out again
