Wet Hide Eco Earth Spread All Over

[JoulesBurn]

Does anyone else have geckos who get eco earth stuck to their bums? My Super Snow male Rigel has managed to get the stuff EVERYWHERE since I got him. He doesn't dig in it. It just looks like he manages to make it stick to various parts of his tail and sometimes belly and then just tracks it throughout the entire enclosure.

I've checked his skin and don't see any redness. His isn't any more wet than the rest. But for some reason he's just got a magnetic personality. I don't mind cleaning out his frat house, I just want to make sure that it's not a sign of anything abnormal.

Okay so don't quote me on this buuut... I have seen many other lizards drag their bum on the ground around their cage to mark their territory. Males are well known for doing so. What I think is happening is that your male geckos is marking the cage and getting the eco earth suck there. Something to kinda help stop that is to make a poop area. In one corner of the cage put a small tile down. Move all is poop to that tile and try to get him to go to the bathroom. This way all you have to do is clean that part and you can leave the eco earth alone. Once he has finishes marking is territory he should stop dragging, but every time you clean the cage good to make his scent disappear.. he will drag to mark again. If you see this keep happening over and over again I'd end up just removing the eco earth and going to the paper towel. I wouldn't want my male getting infected or anything due to the eco earth.
