Thank you! Thankfully, it hasn’t been bad.

Kris did update her lights but it was the liver causing Squirts issues.
I have no clue on this one... Edema is a fluid retention/ build up. But to my knowledge once you find the cause and correct it the fluid just gets absorbed back into the body. It would make sense that the urate/fecal excretion would be linked since that is expelling the water and excess supplements. But I am just thinking not knowing for sure.
He has been on a reduced feeding of 3 small feeders 3 days a week for quite a while now. So he has only ever gone maybe once every 7 days.

Just want to post an update on Paddy and for future members having the same issue. This info may help guide you in the right direction for treatment and husbandry issues. Many thanks to Becca ( @Beman ) for helping me out with the supplements I really appreciate ya! Looks like it may have been the culprit and my vet concurs.
These pics were taken a month from initial onset.
I completely stopped the Arcadia products when it started.
Not much of a change. He wasn’t pooping as much because of the colder weather so I figured if something had built up it would take a while to leave his system. I also took into consideration they have slower metabolisms lol!
These pictures were taken Feb 9th. It was almost over night that it changed. It was warmer during the days prior and he was pooping more often. Still there but better.
These are from today.
His skin is a little saggy but when I touch it I can’t feel fluid like I did before.
Also, to note my oldest Basil may have been developing the same issue.
This was Jan 16th
I also took him off the supplement but his went away much faster.

I can’t pin point it to the bee pollen but it is very likely supplement related.

Just want to update my thread with Paddy’s progress. I currently have him on plain calcium with every feeding (every two days) and Reptivite no D3 once a month. I did notice when I was dusting twice a month some slight edema so now it’s only once a month on one feeder. He seems to be pretty sensitive so I am being very cautious. Here are some recent pics.
looks so much better.
