Is this impaction?
I got this juvenile gecko three days ago. He has a halogen lamp that I have set to around 80 degrees. The first day he ate, he ate yesterday morning and last night too, but he hasn’t eaten this morning and he just sleeps in one of his warm hides. He hasn’t pooped at all and I am worried. Does he look impacted? And if he is what should I do?

He's getting used to his new environment. When you say the light is set at 80, do you mean that in the enclosure the air is 80 degrees, or the floor is 80? Ideally the floor should be in the low 90's and the air should be somewhat cooler. Many people heat with an under tank heat mat and thermostat. Some of my geckos take days or up to a week to poop. Remember also that your gecko is nocturnal so it's not unusual for it to sleep during the day. I think what you're seeing is probably poop that will be coming soon.
