Is my gecko impacted?

Greg hasn’t been finding his food recently, or ever actually and I’ve only ever found one poop and it was the biggest poop I’ve ever seen (I’ve seen pictures of other geckos poop) i‘m getting really worried I’ve had him for a month now and still no poop. i just gave him a bath and he’s really stressed so he’s a bit more puffed up then normal.

It looks to me as if it's a planted enclosure, or at least one with a soil-type substrate. I don't see how you would know for sure whether or not the gecko has pooped because I don't think you'd necessarily find all of them. I have 4 crested geckos and 8 gargoyle geckos and I have never seen a few of them eat, ever. However they're all of good size and range in age from 8-19 years. If you're really worried, you can put a drop of mineral oil on your geckos snout and let it lick it off to grease the works, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were actually OK (though obviously I can't guarantee that).

Yeah my bad, just found a poop last night and also found out he’s potty trained He uses his water dish as a toilet, and I think he generally poops every 2 weeks. I took all the substrate out a few days after going to the vet and put him on paper towels, he might be a little dehydrated but other then that he’s been eating more.

Hopefully he's drinking the droplets when you mist as well.

Yeah I think he tries to, i’m not sure though. I’m gonna try putting more water in his food for a bit to help with hydrating
