Weird stuff

My leopard gecko is doing something weird... Sorry for hassling you guys but the internet can't answer this question. Before you ask he/she is still eating, just fed em a couple minutes ago, he/she is still very active and alert, normal leopard gecko behavior. Warm side is 89F always 24/7 and the cool side is low 70s high 60s. Anyways, he takes like, 3-5 days to poop. I know this isn't normal, he's fed every other day so I'd expect it more often. I just don't understand, is he/she backed up? Should I give them a bath? His warm side has ceramic tile and the other half is eco earth, I've seen the eco earth go through her/his poop before, but now I'm just gonna replace it with reptile carpet on the cool side because I'm not very comfortable seeing him miss and getting some in his mouth.
Edit: he also has been doing that thing where he moves his tail in the air a lot recently, more weird stuff, is it because I made his feedings every other day? Used to be every day

As long as your gecko is eating, active and pooping on occasion, it's fine. Different geckos have different patterns. I don't always get poop in my gecko cages (I have a lot of geckos) even though they are eating. Even people have different individual patterns.

Waving his tail is a sign he feels threatened. Nothing to do with his feedings. He may just see or feel you moving outside of his tank, or perhaps his hiding places don't make him feel sufficiently safe.
