My dragons poo really stinks ...Normal ?

[maximus30576]

I have had my dragon for a couple months and he was a rescue , i was just wandering if any one else has a really stinky pooper :) he seems very healthy now and poos every day but it just stinks so very bad . Is this normal???

My Borneo Short-Tail and Yellow Anaconda have some really smelly crap. When my Yellow piss on my hand it smell like canned Tuna. Borneo and Bloods only go once every 3 to 4 months as adults, so when they go it as a ungodly smell.

Ours likes to wait till his bath ever 2 days, so we have to empty and refill the tub for him every time lol.

My dragon doesn't poo EVERY day but durn near. Also he often poos at the hottest part of his tank so it often bakes. So the smell is there but soon enough it is baked away. He will also poo in his salad bowl when he doesn't like what I give him. Sometimes I will have to remake a salad more than once a day until he either runs out of poo or has something he likes.

He has never pooed outside of his tank before, even after having him out all day at an expo, pet store, or just running chores. Does he have a certain place in his tank he likes to poo or is it just wherever?

Ha today he decided to do it in his bowl too . I guess he doesnt like the spring mix to good ..

Nah Most dragons arent REALLY picky about where they go, although it will become habit eventually.

My friend's 2 year old Beardie laid one down in the middle of his tank on a hot day and it smelled poop and vomit combined. Totally nasty.

Ha ha classic! They have their ways of letting you know how they really feel about the food we give them.

I'm sorry for bumping an old thread but it appeared on the unread page for me and I just wanted to say that extremely smelly feces can be a sign of worms and you might want to consider getting a fecal. My dragon's feces was never overly smelly (I have a terrible gag reflex) and it never bothered me, these past few weeks i've been babysitting a dragon for a friend and his poos are terrible I can't even be in the same room and he has a case of pin worms, he seems healthy otherwise (ignoring some problems with his care up until this point) and I would have never known about the worms if I had never smelled his poop. So as I said you might want to look into getting a fecal just to check.
