My leo decided she wasn't going to poop for roughly a week and then make a very large poop now instead. Is this normal? The poop looks healthy, it's just a fair bit.

One of my geckos has quite a funny defecation routine. She'll usually go about every 5-6 days, and it's usually quite large each time. She's kept on paper towel, has proper temps (90-95), and is fed a good diet of mealworms, so impaction isn't the issue at all. At first, I used to be concerned, often giving her warm water soaks and giving her a bit of mineral oil to try and help her bowels, but now I just don't fret about it. It's just her schedule and is the way her body works.
I guess every leo is different. My other one goes more, usually every 3-4 days.
