Help !!

Does anyone have ant ideas as to help my 11 month old nosy defecate?? Would sunlight help?? His collars are showing stress and he hasn't gone in a few days now?

Are you sure he/she actually has to go? ,,, how much has he/she been eating? ...how about drinking? Maybe dehydration is a factor.

What makes you think the stress colors are related to lack of poo? An adult tends not to poo so often. Have you seen the lizard straining/trying to poo, hanging its butt over a branch? What did the last poo you saw look like? Is the lizard drinking?
You could try giving it a knee high soak in tepid water or a shower, but unless its straining, three days should not be a concern.

They can go quite while, so I certainly would not worry about a few days.

All of the above. That said, I've seen numerous people say some time in natural sunlight will help stimulate a bowel movement. As long as it's a) warm enough and b) he has a place to get out of the sun if he wants, time in natural sunlight can't really be a bad thing.

Yeah!!!!! He got his first shower and within 30 seconds he passed it, phew!!!
Thank you everyone for all of your help!!!
