Hi only just got my 2 geckos about a month ago and noticed that their poos have a bit of white in them or a lot in some of them - is this okay?

The simple answer: blackish/brown = poo, white = pee
Technical answer from the gecko spot website:
Feces can differ in consistency depending on the type of food that the gecko is eating, and the amount of water it drinks. However, feces which are watery, loose, contain undigested food, or particularly if they contain blood or are green are indicative of a problem. Other symptoms which can be associated with abnormal stools are lethargy, parasite infestation or a bacterial infection. Geckos with abnormal feces should be taken to the vet, ideally a fecal sample should be examined, by the vet, for signs of parasites or bacterial infection.
