It can sometimes be weeks. Even months. It happens. If she doesn't look bloated or uncomfortable and isn't visibly (tail) losing weight, try not to worry too much.

So glad I found this forum, I used this forum alot when researching before getting my first gecko last week and finally joined today :) i have the same problem at the minute, Cleo has not pooped from she arrived home last sunday. We changed her from dessert sand to reptile carpet and she has no dark spots under her belly and we tried a lukewarm bath a few days ago but still nothing, she is eating her crickets ok but has not touched any mealworms. I am hopeful that she will settle into her new home soon.

:D Welcome aboard!

Please tell us what Cleo's vivarium temperatures are on the warm end and on the cool end as measured with a digital thermometer with a probe. Proper temperatures are necessary for proper digestion and pooping.

Warm side ground temp is 92f and cool side is currently 68.4 f. Cleo is eating fine and is moving about ok. I am debating on weather or not to get her checked by vet, but i don't want to stress her out anymore, maybe just let her settle in her new home for another few days.

Does she have 3 hides including a warm moist hide 24/7? A warm moist hide helps with hydration as well as with shedding. Has Cleo a water dish?

Good that you removed the desert sand. :cheer:

I would not worry yet.
