Going on 3 days with no poop

[MollyT]

Usually, Kush poops every day or every other day. His last one was Wednesday and it was HUGE! It was twice as big as usual, and the urate was as well. Should I be concerned? He has been eating normal and he looks fine, not bloated or anything. My husband thinks that since the last poop was so big that maybe he just cleaned himself out. I don't know....but he's never gone this long without pooping, so I thought I would mention it on here and see if I could get some feedback. Thanks!!

His basking temps correct, it's the only thing I can think of.
My cham sometimes doesn't go for 2-3days and lets a massive one go.

Yeah, everything is right on...he's super healthy. I'm trying not to get to worked up about it. I'm hoping that maybe since he's getting bigger(he's 3.5 months), that maybe it's just his routines are changing.

3 days isn't a lot. My just had 8 days with no poop! Make sure he doesn't eat many feeders with lot of chitin (like supers). Lots of water, sun exposure and appropriate basking temp help. You could also give him some silkworms or hornworms.

3 days woukdnt be a huge concern for me eitger.. this may seem obvious but.check everywhere!! Leaves plant pots down the screen.. EVERYWHERE

I gave his enclosure a thorough look over this morning and didn't see anything. Ever since we added some dowel rods for him to climb on a month ago, he has been pooping in the same place. I'm not going to worry yet, bc, like I said, he is still eating well and he looks good. Thank you all for easing my fears!

HE POOPED!!

I think he might have been a little bit constipated. It was big, but I'm just so glad the 'Poop Watch 2012' is over. What a relief!!

I went thru the same thing with Flash. Her poop was so big I even posted a pic on here. I swear it was the size of a kittens poo. It seems to be her way. She will go 3-5 days and then drop a bomb. LoL!
