Gecko hasnt peed/pooped yet.

I got loki last night and after some pretty nasty tank cleaning which needed to be done (you can see the full story under Show Off Your Leos>Lokis Thread!!) And ive put paper towels down. IM not sure how often leos pee/poop put this morning when i went to go check on him there was nothing on the paper towels. This worries me becuase on youtube and such during leo updates i see tank people forgot to clean and theyre dirty after a night or two. I just got him last night, and its winter and snowy here, can that be why? Hes 13 years old and thin.

And he has a 2-5 gallon tank heater in a 10 gallon tank. Today after school im buying him an 10 UTH. Could the heat be why? This morning i checked on his and i put my hand on the small part that the mat covered and it was warm, but not 80-90 warm. Hes been laying in that spot for awhile. I put and extra heater in my room for him also, its close to high 70s in my room right now .

How often they poop (they don't really pee, they have solid urates) depends on how often they eat, how much, and temperatures. I looked at your thread, and he is pretty skinny. If he hasn't been eating, he probably won't poop. He also appears to be missing toes.

Any chance you could post a picture of him standing up? I'm a little concerned about how his front legs look in your pictures. Do you know much about how the previous owners cared for him?

Are you measuring the hot spot on the floor with a thermometer? You definitely need to know what the temperature is. It should be 90 degrees F.

Im buying a thermometer and everything today. All i know its not 90. No way. And he stands fine, when i walk up to his cage he stands, hes missing his toes from probably bad shedding. But ill take pics today, i wont be able to upload them until tomorrow.

And he is tiny. He looks big in the pics. Hes like 5 inches or so maybe. Ill measure him too. Hes supposed to be 13 years,
