Opposite problem of everyone else...

[JandaSeve]

Hey y'all! I'm kinda having the opposite problem of everyone else on here I think. I got this girl 3 days ago. She's 50+ grams. Not sure of her age, she's a petshop gecko. She's been eating since she came home with us. I think she has a depth persention problem, because she always over shoot the meal worm around 3 or 4 times before she gets it. Anyways, she hasn't pooped yet. I've looked at her belly and felt around and it feels soft all over. No abnormal bumps, nothing appears to be out of the ordinary. Is this possibly stress induced constipation? Is there something I can do to help "move things along"? Thanks for any help!

Just give her some time to get "regulated".

bump up the temp in the hot side to about 96 or give her warm baths.

from the description of her missing her targets, sounds like an enigma. can you post pics? and i agree with the temps. make sure her hot side surface is around 95 degrees. was she kept on sand at the pet store?

She's a tremper albino. She was on sand at the pet store but is now on paper towels. I'll bump up her temp a bit and maybe give her a soak tonight. Thanks.

Could be stress. I'm guessing you will find a big poopy soon once she is more relaxed.
