I haven't posted for a long time beacuse everything has been fine with my male bearded dragon Racso. This morning I woke up to fine that he went to the bathroom but there was a tiny spot of blood in it. What should I do about it, and what can cause it?

Are you sure it was blood? Some dyes contained in pelleted foods and even natural food (ie red peppers) will stain a dragon's poo. If you are quite certain it's blood, then I suggest getting a fecal to a vet as it could be parasites. If there is alot of blood or a farely noticeable amount, it may be a cut or tear in the vent or further down the bowel. This would need vet care.

Well I am pretty sure it was blood, because nothing red has been in his diet for a while. Also he used to have parasites, but then he was treated with albon and panacure, and they appeared to go away. If I see it the next time he goes to the bathroom I'm going to get him to the vet for a fecal.
