Where does yours poop?

[Remy]

I was just curious....

What side of your tank does your leo poop?

Warm? Cool? In between?

It just seems that mine is always on the warm side.

Random question!

 

[shadowdragon619]

both of mine poop on the cool side. Spaz will go only on the substrate (i have reptile carpet) but Wretch on the other hand...he likes to poop on his cool side hide. little bugger.

I had bought a new hide and put it on the warm side and she pooped a couple of times on it. I then moved it, being slightly insulted seeing as I had just bought it. I moved it to the cool side and she continued her business at the same spot. I simply now put toilet paper in that spot. Works wonders!

Geckos pick a spot and then go there. You can sometimes encourage them to go in a different spot by moving some of the poo to where you want them to go. On my rack system I try to encourage my geckos to go behind the hide on the warm side. Otherwise if they go on the cool side they end up going in their food dish or water which is much worse. Also very annoying when they go inside the warm hide.

So most of my guys go on the warm side. A couple prefer the cool side. And my enigmas just like to go everywhere.... messy little things grrrr

Some of mine go on the warm side, some on the cool, a couple like their humid hides, and worst of all one prefers her water dish. :main_huh:

One of mine...well, she's my boyfriend's really...she goes in the inch of her tank that isn't covered in shelf liner lol. I guess it's on the "cold side" but her heater's in the middle of her tank...so like...both extreme sides are the cold side and the middle is the warm side

Mine actually does its business in the corner on the cool side.

 

[CallDr]

Mine for now on the warm side. She will make a surprise place like her mealworm dish...I don't know if that is a hint for me or not...LOL!

In the water dish, calcium dish, on top of their hides, but several do it in the cool side corner of their tubs. I must have one in each tub that wants to be a rebel and poop in the dishes and on top the hides.

Well before I cleaned my geckos cage it was the warm side. Now they found a nice corner spot next to the water dish on the cool side.
And my crested, she likes to poop on me or right after I clean the tank and put her back in.

 

[TickoLucky]

Mine poops on a rock that sits in between the hot and cool side or on occasion he poops on top of the cool hide

 

[Mallie]

Mine goes for the cool side, luckily. The thought of heated gecko poo doesn't sound pleasant >.<

 

[chechatonga]

For some reason my geckos poop on top of their warm hide and nowhere else:main_huh:

 

[Shera]

The cool side, but I think it's because there is some room behind the cool hide, whereas the warm hide is right up against the wall.

 

[Remy]

Interesting, it really seems to be half half....

 

[GeckoNub]

3/5 of mine poop on their cool hide...its not so bad really as theyre the resin things so its just wipe clean.

Daisy likes to put her butt right up to the side of the plastic and squit one out while ur watching :main_rolleyes:

Last few times Freya has used her water dish as a toilet which isnt so nice but i can think of worse things to clean

To be perfectly honest mine are better poopers than eaters. Sometimes i dont know where the poop has come from cos they havent eaten in a week :main_huh:

 

[BunnyValentine]

mine changes from right underneath her heat lamp or right on top of her humid hide.

 

[Michelle81280]

Most of ours use the cool side but we have some brats that go in their moist hides and in the water dish

 

[KyleR]

I can beat all you guys. Mine climbs up on the top of a fake barrell cactus that is up against to the back wall background and poops off the edge. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. Kept finding poop that was on the rock background 4 inches from ground level. Figured he wasn't doing a front hand stand to poop, so he must be up on the cactus doing it.

1 of mine go on the warm side and 2 go on the cool side
