defecatorium?
It's a gecko, gecko will defecate anywhere at any time I am not sure why you jump to the conclusion of being terminally sick?
Is the animal bloated, does it look skinny with fat in the tail depleated?

It isn't uncommon for geckos and other lizards to make a "popping" kind of noise when they defecate. Specifically when they pass their urate. If it is extremely strange for your animal or absurdly loud bring them to a vet just in case. Wish you and your animal the best.

Re: Is my gecko terminally sick?
How much do you handle her? How often and for how long?

I handle her every night after she has eaten a few crickets, and once every 2-3 days. I never handle her more than twice a day.

Lenetta is a leopard gecko so she uses a toilet site, that's why i'm surprised. Also, she doesn't look unhealthy, which is part of why i'm confused.

Again gecko will poop anywhere and at any given time, even the smartest house trained lizard (meaning larger lizard) will let themselves go at somepoint.
Those are not cats and dogs so expections should not be as high.

See above and my guess is you are handling to much.
5 minutes every other day or so at least until you are sure she's fine. I bet she is, but if she doesn't have access to her favorite poop spot she will poop wherever. Also, when stressed or overhandled, they will poop as well. She may be telling you to let her be more.
