My beadie Norbert, Norbs for short, has had watery poops for around two weeks now. At first after looking on here for a long while I though it was just he is well hydrated. He loves to drink water, I can put it in a dish in his cage and he will drink from it. He is maybe 3 months old about 10 inches long roughly, he hates to be held so cannot really measure him. He eats like crazy, this weekend I gave him horn worms, the blue caterpillar things, they were super small ones no bigger then between his eyes. He loved them, but then I noticed he hadn't pooped since Saturday, and now it is Tuesday. Then today I hear like a splatting noise and I look and he pooped but it was a scary looking poop and water, or at least I think it was water, was like flowing away from the poop. He is in a 50 gallon tank, his basking spot is usually around 108-110 degrees, but my lamp shorted about a week ago. I have another light on there for now but the temp only gets up to about 91 degrees, his cool side is at like 68-75 degrees. I went to go get a new lamp from my boyfriend, but we forgot it and he is either bringing it to me tonight or tomorrow. Norbs has a UVB light that extends the length of his tank, its the ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent tube. I have a temperature probe for his temps. He ate a little bit of asparagus over the weekend and today, which I dust with the herptivite, he hates that stuff but I try. He normally eats phoenix worms, but the pet stores around me were either out of them or they were moldy when I opened the container. I also give his dubia roaches every few weeks, they are his favorite but only come in 25 count and he eats all 25 at one time and they are expensive as a broke college student. So for the last weekish he has had mealworms, which I know are not great but that is all that I could get until I found a place that sold little baby horn worms. He hasn't been moving around as much this past week, I assumed it was because his light and temps were not as hot as normal. He would just sit right under the 91 degree spot most of the time, but still would have his crazy running around times. Then this weekend he just looked very fat. Very round belly, I thought he was maybe starting to grow some more, but after the scary poop its a little less round. After he pooped he ran around and ate some asparagus and now he is chillin on one of his logs. So If someone could tell me if he is okay that would be awesome, I love him and am very worried about him. 
This is him in the bath Thursday
