MODERATORS
I personally prefer interesting creatures over vehicular trespassing, so it's understandable.
Bearded dragons typically only poop every few days or even once a week! So it's not like a daily thing, unless there's something going on with their health or they've drank/eaten more than usual (they WILL try to eat as many insects as possible, if given the opportunity!). Plus, it's not like a dog-sized poop or anything, but it is pretty loose and nasty, admittedly.
They can't really be trained to poop in specific places, which is why a lot of owners use the bathtub method. Just fill up the tub/container a bit with warm water (usually it's enough so that they are submerged up to the base of their tail), put your dragon in, and within a few seconds to minutes, you have a freshly emptied dragon! Just drain/dump the poopy water, and you don't have to worry about poop on your floors, blankets, yourself, etc.!
