Was just wondering.. What color should bearded dragon droppings be?
it varies with the diet
With a diet of crickets, silkworms, some mealworms or superworms, normal dark leafy greens (dandelion, collards, mustard etc) normal dragon poo should be some shade of brown, firmly (not hard) shaped with some signs of insect exoskeleton (various on what kind of insects fed) and a small to large white chalky section (ie urates).
Using any of the dyed dragon pellet foods, carrots and some squashes will stain the poo different colours. Fortunately color isn't much a sign of ill health, more the solidity and smell. (unless there is obvious blood in the poo which means parasites or worse).
