Pooping question

[gothra]

I'm doing my research, and I have an idea on the basic husbandry stuff now; but couldn't find any info on everyone's favourite subject: pooping. Just wondering how often do they poop? Once a day or several times a day? And will they poop in the same corner like leopard geckos?

lol, beardies poop where they want, when they want

haha, bum..:main_no:

I'm designing the cage, and was thinking if they would poop on the branches and stuff...

If they can reach it, they'll poop on it.

I swear, with the places mine get theirs somehow, I'm not going to be surprised if I come downstairs some day to see one winding up and throwing it.

Depends if you're getting a baby or not. Babies are poop machines, adults don't poop as often. Some you can train to poop...don't know how I did it but Kirby lets me know when he's gotta go. You stick them in the sink, load up the water... rub their belly a little bit and they'll go. Then I spray down the sink and wa la!

Poop is everywhere at times, except where he sleeps in his cave. *lol* I guess he poops about every other day. My daughter stays home so she cleans the cage more than I do, but about every other day for our 1yr old.

And it STINKS! *lol*

Haha, well at least they don't poop where they sleep. I noticed a lot of people adding a towel in their sleeping spot, so they can dig and make a den out of it; it will be horrible if they poop on the towel. lol

Mine does Spyro could care less. It sure does stink too! I' ve come sometimes, and as soon as I start coming up the stairs, it smells like a ZOO! and I always know! Then he's gotta get a bath!
I love him to pieces, but this is one of the reasons why I only have 1

My beardie is the only reptile I have that doesn't either poop in the same corner or in the planted viv. In the winter she sometimes goes nearly a week without pooping, but, as mentioned above, the bath is a good place to encourage it.
