A stool sample is ideal but there's ways to get around it. I watched one of the vets I shadow at my internship insert a cotton swab into a cloaca of a bearded and gently wiggle it around. For some reason it seems to stimulate reptiles to poop, especially after a warm bath. So, I wouldn't worry too much about the stool sample.
Good luck with your little buddy. Keep us updated!
