Thick-Tailed Gecko not defecating

[Reptiles101]

I've had Harley my Thick-Tailed Gecko for 3 months now, he used to eat then always the next day or 2 he would defecate, I would then clean it out.

I feed him on the 4th November then again on the 8th November but he hasn't defecated since the 2nd November, I'm a little concerned that something's not quite right.

He's hot side is 21.5 degrees

What's his substrate?

Feed him more often. More in more out. Could be more to it but i would try this 1st.

do you mist and/or supply a water source?

Yes I supply a small bowl of water and I spray the cool side every feed

 

[mummabear]

This time of year i would be spraying every second night and feeding every second night. The water bowl is not needed they drink droplets from the sides of their tub and face when sprayed.

Thanks mummabear, I'll chuck in a few calcium coated crickets tonight and give him and the side of the enclosure a light spray.
