My leo has been eating just as much as usual, 5-7 mealworms a day, but she hasn't pooped since monday or so. What is up with this. Temps on hot side are 90-95 and substrate is paper towels.

Did you check around the enclosure? Toon decided a month or so ago to start pooping in a different spot and for a couple days I was freaking out.

There is no poop what so ever in her tank. It may have been tuesday that she last went, I can't really remember.

Just give her a couple warm soaks a day and dab a little olive oil on her nose to lick. She should start pooping again in no time.

Her last poop was a bit bigger than usual, not a whole lot. Could it be her getting used to mealworms(switched to them roughly 2 weeks ago) after eating only crickets or too many mealworms?

Could be but if she's not pooping, giving her warm soaks and olive or mineral oil will help.

I don't keep track of my cats poop so why keep track of a gecko's. I love my gecko but he'll go when he's ready. I'm notcing that there's a lot of OCD when it comes to gecko's. Sometimes too much attention and overcare is just as bad as undercare!

Well I've only had her for a month and bought her from a petstore, so I want to be sure.

She finally pooped earlier. Looked normal, part white, part black with a bit of wetness(So she probably JUST did it before I came into the room). It may have been the olive oil that helped?

I tell my mother the same thing when she complains about not going. Don't worry eventually you'll go.
