HELP new uromastyx benti sick?

I got my yearling benti last week from a wholesaler. I picked him out in person and checked to make sure everything looked ok. I looked at his diet, etc. They say they had him since last fall and that he was captive bred but not on location (so who knows).

Ever since I brought him home, he has had runny stool. I cannot tell if this is due to acclimation or if he is sick since I do not know his natural behavior.

I am worried that it is internal parasites. Should I give it a few days to see if it continues? I don't want to endanger him by waiting but it also might be premature to visit a vet and do tests.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
