Should I be concerned-BM's have stopped

[Sarge USMC]

She's been pretty "regular", but it seems she's bound up for about a week or so. Eating, but not "slamming" everything that hits the floor of the tank the way she normally does.

We have her on a carpet.....no sand......I don't normally bathe her, but I gave her a warm bath yesterday......I thought that might produce some results like it does with the dragon, but it didn't.

Should I be concerned/doing anything?

Are you not getting any BM or is it just not "normal"? If she is eating without any BM then she may be in early stages of a blockage or she has found a place to hide it from you. Your temps may be too cold as well...resulting in longer periods between BM. If you are not seeing any BM and she becomes more lethargic or appears to be ill then take her to a vet.

Looking at your name I see your a Sgt. in the Marines. What unit are you with and your MOS? I got out Jan 09 as a Sgt. from 3/6 wpns co. 0311/0317

0300!!! Infantry!! I was a 2841 ground radio repairman, MWCS-28. I was an air winger, working to support the 3rd LAAM Batt out of Cherry Point back in the 70's.

As for the little girl here......she always poops in the same spot, and I keep it clean for her. She ain't hiding it anywhere that I can see. Temp is plenty warm on the warm side.......90's......what's she getting impacted from if there's no sand.......the only thing I feed is crickets, mealies and waxies now and then.

What do you use for a substrate in your humid hide?

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Sometimes crickets can cause impaction because of a lack of ability to break down their exoskeletons properly. If she doesn't get better she will need to see a vet

What's BM stand for?

Bowel movement - fecal matter.

Substrate is repti-carpet.

She's poopin'.....but it's not what we're used to seeing from her. Little tiny things......temp is 98 degrees in her hide on the hot side........her water and her calcium/vitamin powder are over on the cold side......

Our dragon just passed away a month ago.....I hope our gecko ain't sick now.......I bought a scale and I'm going to track her weight......maybe try introducing some alternate foods.....
