Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
depends which vet you go to. Call around to the reptile vets in your area, ask them thier exam fee (literally anywhere from $30-$100), how much a fecal float or smear is (usually $15-$30) and aprox cost of meds.

Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
Beardie poop is really stinky in general. But it was about $50 for when my beardie had parasites. And that was just for the meds, he did the fecal for free.

Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
Certain foods you feed them can make the poop runny too. have you change up the veggies at all lately?

Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
Nope, low humidity lizards. They like it dry dry. to much water can be detrimental to them. No need to bath everyday.

Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
I've been bathing my beardie everyday up until just after her first birth day since then its a couple times a week. She has never had a problem, never had runny stools, RI, or any sort of problem from it, she is well hydrated solid poo and urate.

Re: Parasites Bearded Dragon
The only true way to tell if it has parasites or not is to taste the poop
