It could really depend on a lot of things. My panther went 30 days without pooping and finally a tepid shower got things going. He also did not eat a whole lot during that time. I think the older they get and the less they eat, the less they poop. Adults may poop once a week and that is not anything to be alarmed about. Also, it's winter, their metabolism slows down. Try the shower thing and see if that helps.

I agree. a good long warm misting can encourage elimination.
Everything look okay down there?
Anything sticking out?
I just pulled a big sperm plug out of Kitty this morning

Have you seen urates (white part) produced? (I asked you this in the thread about impaction...but you didn't answer it.)
Do you have a substrate in the cage? Have you been overfeeding him? What supplements are you using specifically and how often for each? What's the basking temperature in the cage? Do you have a UVB light on the cage?
