Bearded Dragon feces or urine?

22 14:36:40

Question
I notice that after my beardie uses the restroom there is a white calcium looking deposit in his cage but it is never anywhere near the fecal matter is this his urine or soemthing else?

Answer
Dear Craig,
thank you for your question.
You're right, the white stuff is his urine. It looks like that with all herps except tortoises/turtles, their kidneys draw most of the water from their urine, until more or less only uric acid and guanine is left. It's a bit unusual that it's not near the rest of the feces, but I don't think that it's anything to worry about.
I hope I was of some help to you
