MVB: 150W

what brand?  There are several having "issues" at the moment.

Bananas are very high in phosphorus.  Careful of those.

You might want to bump up your basking temps a little.  The ambient air is getting cooler in most states and when that occurs, we need to compensate slightly.

Other than that, i really can't find anything wrong with your set up.
If you're concerned, I'd go ahead with that fecal.  

One question...........any reason you use a Repti Sun and a MVB?
UVB can be over exposed as well.

Do you bath your dragon? How often?
Once a day
Do you mist your dragon or offer water other than in the bath?
Few times a day

This could be an over hydration or humidity issue, misting few times a day + a 150W MVB pumping out a lot of heat = a very humid enclosure. What are the humidity readings in the enclosure?

I would have to agree with both ladyknite and Red Ink Aus...

The amount of UVB is a lot more than dragons need...
