As long as he's not on sand, is still eating and seems to be healthy and active, I wouldn't worry. To be sure, you could either give him a warm soak and/or a drop of mineral oil.

before and after
Hey guys thanks for your comments. Still no poop. Acpart, i ve taken leo off the sand today which hes been on since the beginning of time. As you can see in the photos ive compleatly changed things around. Porcelin tile and repti-carpet is what his new diggs are now. I gave him a luke warm bath last night for about 15mins to help but no such luck. How long should he be in the bath? Todd and Frey ive also taken your advice, i bought wax worms for him today and he ate 4 without hesitation. I checked underneath his belly for a dark spot. A "reptile specialist" at the pet store said to look for that sign of impaction, (TRUE??), but there wasnt anything there. I hope i havent doomed my Leo. Suggestions are welcome. I cant be the only one out there whose Leo hasnt pooped in a couple weeks.
THANKS.

hmmm, I can't think of anything that could be causing this.

Regular again
Today my Leo pooped for the first time in over 2 weeks. Actually he did within 30 mins of eating the waxworms. I would show you a photo to see how big it is, but im sure you prefer not to be grossed out. Anyway, thanks to those who replied. For now at least my Leo has not been doomed.
