I had the same concerns with Diego when we first got him - he didn't poop for about a week. We gave him daily warm baths to help him along. We also tried to keep his hydration levels up by offering fruit juice (watered down) with an eye dropper. Eventually he pooped and since then, he's been going around once every week and a half. So it may just be completely normal.

I was told to give daily warm baths, and to gently massage along the right side of his belly from under the arm down to just before the vent. If you feel a lump, then he may be impacted. But seeing as he is not on sand, that probably won't be the case. As far as I am aware roaches cannot cause impaction. He doesn't eat mealworms does he?
