Please help me! I'm VERY worried! Is there something wrong? Maybe it's not hot enough? The temps dropped quite low outside but not in his 30 gal tank. Could it be that maybe she needs more water? or should have more salad everday? maybe she overeated???

Undigested crickets could be a sign that the crickets were too large. Also, her temps may be wrong (should be about 105 for babies and 100 for adults, measured only with a digital probe thermometer for accuracy). Is she an a baby or adult? A 30 gallon is too small for an adult. Do you have a UVB source? Misting/soaking/bathing regularly to hydrate? Fresh salad daily? NO LOOSE SUBSTRATE--especially sand of any kind which can cause dehyration and impaction. Has she been vet checked for parasites yet? They are extremely common in beardies. Here are some helpful sites;

wow, that is really freaky. BUT it may not be anything serious so calm down and take a breather. You should try the vet.

Don't worry. Since they're whole and undigested, maybe he'll eat them again! He'll think they're new crickets.
