I noticed the last poo my leo had was just the white urates ONLY. Is this normal or could it be that he just didn't get it all out last time? Other than that, he's been acting normal and eating regularly.

I dont understand. He defecated and his urate was white? Thats normal. No poop and a white urate can be normal too.

How many days had it been since he'd eaten? I feed one of mine every 3 days so half the time it's just urates. As long as he poos after the next time he eats, he should be fine. Otherwise he could be impacted

When my girl goes on a hunger strike or if she just pees I see white urates only. It can be normal and as the gentlemen above said it could possibly be a sign of impaction.

It's only been a couple of days since he's eaten and his last poop was normal. We feed him 3 times a week. He just got through with a shed and usually during that time he eats less than usual. He should eat well during the next feed and hopefully things will look normal after that. I've just never seen that before being new at this. It's like having another child to worry about. :)

He is 2 1/5 years old. He did have a normal poop when I got home from work the day I posted my concern. So that was a relief.

I see ureate only poop once in a while. I usually dismiss it as being normal since i get a normal poop after feeding them the next day. You can't really expect to see a normal poop (with the black part) if your gecko hasn't eaten anything yet.
