so... i just checked on my male mack tremper, and ... well.. I found that he has now decided to poop in his mealworm dish! hahaha!

this hasn't happened to me yet... but when I was visiting Marcia, we were talking about water dish poopers... so I thought i'd start this poll...

it's silly I know, but seriously, some leos are just crazy! ;)

thanks guys!

I answered worm dish, because I have never had that before. I really haven't had these problems before, but poop in the food seems to be real bad. I do have a red foot that poo's in his water dish. I think his bunk mate is getting really annoyed.

both, but thats my own fault because i put both dishes by the poop side. I've rearranged the dishes and i dont have this problem anymore. i sure hate waking up to poop in a dish, i have to throw out all the mealies and scrub the dish, but i dont care, its worth it.

I hate when they poop on top of their humid hide. I do all this work to make their enclosure look nice and neat and then wham, poop on their hide, lol.
One of my males used to push his hide out of the way and poop behind it. It was a pain because all my geckos usually poop in the front of their tubs and i just replace the paper towel in the front when dirty. Now I tape his hide down to the paper towel so he cant move it.... problem fixed.

It funny I have all three. Hide poopers water dish poopers and food dish poopers. and then I have one that does all three. I have just learned that if I have a few extra of everything freshly cleaned(with bleach) hanging around it makes it much easier.

What about the calcium dish...I just got one of those yesterday...these animals have no concern for personal hygiene! I find that most of mine don't do that "poop in the same place all the time" thing. Some do but most don't.

Maybe potty training is in order...they poo in the right spot and a big fat waxworm drops from a dispenser.

I hate when they poop in the calcium bowl, the water bowl, the food bowl, ON TOP of the hide, right next to where the paper towl is short, and on the side of the bin..... ughh.

I've been lucky so far with none of the above. I have learned where they like to poo and rearrange it all around that. I very rarely get a hide with a poo on it and that's usually because I placed it too close to the poo spot.

Oh, yeah- that's definitely bad. But even worse is when they poo on your clothes. On your skin it's gross but at least you can wipe it off...

Of the choices, though- I picked water dish because unless you notice it quickly the water makes it all soft and really stinky... ew.
