before you rush off ~ how long has it been since your ig's diet got changed???
if it's been in the last week or so, it's very probably the switch to eating fresh greens has just given him a temporary case of diarrhea ...

it doesn't sound like an emergency at this point, but DO "keep an eye" on your igs "output" ~ it IS an important indicator of it's overall health ...
and diarrhea *can* become serious if it goes on for too long ~ it will cause dehydration ...

what *I* would do is call his doctor tomorrow during "regular office hours" and set up a "well-lizard exam" ... and take some fresh poop with you so they can check for parasites/worms/etc ...

altho i'd like to {{hug}} both you and your bf for being *willing* to rush him to the doctor!!! *big grins* ...

some misc. questions:
how big (length + approx. weight) is your ig?
how old?
name???? (*grin*)

best wishes!
we're all here for ya if you need us!
