    Question New leopard gecko not using the bathroom.

    I picked up a leopard gecko at the midwest reptile show Sunday. She dropped a deuce in her deli cup on the way home, but as of today, she has not used the bathroom. At what point should I be worried. She is eating fine so at some point she will either blow up or let it out right?

    I wouldn't worry just yet, she'll go!
    As long as she is eating well, her temps are good and she is settling in she is fine...they don't always poop every day.

    Yeah, her temps are 90 hot side 78 or 80 cool side. She has a hide on each side and a humid hide in the center. She is on slate tile, so no chance of impaction either. So, when should I start to worry?

    Well, just got home from work and had 3 loads to clean up. I had put paper towel in all four corners of her enclosure, because I was told they pick a corner as the bathroom. Turns out, she chose her hide on the cold side. She must like her privacy. LOL

    Yay!
    All of mine use the cool side hides as bathrooms. Silly geckos.
