Hi Nick,
I would lose the Exact, not a good idea!
Sulcatas are grazing herbivores, in the wild their diet consists of grasses, vetches, clovers and other edible plants and flowers.

Feed a larger variety of leafy greens: Endive, Dandelions, Romaine, escarole, chicory etc.

But no spinach ,ice burg lettuce or chard.

Grazing on grasses, edible weeds etc is the best diet, supplemented with edible leaves/flowers etc.
Hibiscus flowers and leaves, mulberry leaves, opuntia cactus and a variety of leafy greens.

All my sulcatas poop daily except for my baby sulcata, with him it's every couple of days.
For more sulcata info check out the link below.

Also if he's a pet store tort a vet visit including a fecal test is a good idea, to check for internal parasites.

But greenish poop isn't bad, as long as it's not runny!

Terry.
