What a mess! I come back after a year or so and this place has been taken over by a tantrum throwing 10 year old!! lol!!Anyways....I'm wondering if you guys can give me a little insight as to why Rex refuses to poop lately. Here's the scenerio....About mid December we moved. Rex went from having his own room to having to live in a cage. I know, bummer! It is a 6x4x3 cage but it still bums me out him having to be in there. Anyway, ever since we moved he does not regularly poop. I know it takes a while for igs to adjust to new surroundings, but goodness sakes! It's been 3 months! When he does poop, about every 3rd day or so, it looks normal, but there's a LOT of it. (I mean, can you imagine? 3 days worth!) His appetite is still good. In fact, that never changed from one home to the next. It's just the poop thing. Could it be the pooping in the cage? Maybe he doesn't want to poop in "his" area? I have a basking area at about 100 degrees and his cage stays around 80. There are 2 UVB tube lights in there so temp and lighting shouldn't be a prob. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Take Care

PS for iZ's mom... where did you get your "bubbling" water dish? Too cool...
