How Often Should My Crested Gecko Poop?

[Piccola]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with this...

So on Monday (today is Friday) I brought home my first adult male crested gecko. As instructed, I put out crested gecko diet on Tuesday night. Because I didn't see him eat anything that night I put out fresh food on Wednesday (success!). I put out fresh food on Thursday as well becaus I didn't know how much he ended up eating, my thought being that he didn't fill up because he was still checking out his new digs. Anyway, the food thing seems to be working. But what I've noticed, or not noticed, is that there is no poop in the tank! He definitely pooped in the carrying tank on the way home, but since then I haven't seen anything.

So my question is how often should my crested gecko be pooping?

I'm hoping/guessing this is temporary because he's still adjusting and not super interested in food yet.
I am planning on trying him on crickets tomorrow, maybe that will move things along.

Thanks.



Oh, and I used pooping for lack of a better term.

Ours are on a great schedule, we feed every other night and they poops every other night. Once your crestie settles in (may take anywhere from 4-10 days usually) you will notice that it starts eating. Once it starts eating then within 1-2 days it will start pooping and usually you will notice a eating/pooping pattern. You should leave the food in and change it every other day; some will eat it fresh, but some like it better a day old.
