    They're all different. mine sometimes poop once a week and sometimes once every week and a half. I do need to know what you're feeding Bubba. and how often as well as how much.

    Mine only goes about once every two weeks, sometimes a little more often. I constantly worry about impaction since it's longer than average, but I'm starting to think that that's just her schedule. After about two weeks, I also start doing warm water baths and all. What and how often are you feeding?
    Is yours an adult? Babies go a lot more often than adults.
    If he/she doesn't appear to be struggling or uncomfortable, I'd say not to worry too much, but to keep an eye out for potential impactions. Also, temperature and humidity can affect how quickly they metabolize food. If they get too dry or cool their metabolism will slow way down, but if that's what's going on they usually aren't as hungry either.

    well Bubba mainly eats crickets and since he wont eat nightcrawlers i give him 2 hornworms a week to soften things up a bit. temps are held at 82 and humdity is fine since a have a fogger for that. When bubba does poop is not like hes struggling i think is just his routine. I feed him every 2 or 3 days and he is healthy size. I think im going to train him to each nightcrawlers and will wait 4 or five days without feeding to get him on them.

    You can also trick him into eating night crawlers. if you feed him the Hornworms. back to back or just one every day or so you can feed him a hornworm. and then right after he's prepared for another food item offer the night crawler. this how I tricked Grif into eating them and how she loves them.
