you can potty train them. i used one of those hospital bed pans that i cut the top off (couple of inches so she could easily climb into it.) then, i used a cigarette lighter to burn--and round off--the rough edges from cutting. (can't have the lizard hurting itself.) i filled it with these paper-bark things i got from the petstore. (they are about the size/consistency of cedar chips, but they are made out of cardboard/recycled paper and have no scent.) i then weighted it down with a big rock that i got outside. underneath it, i have a big piece of plastic just incase her aim is off on a particular day--she rarely ever misses the pan.
the pan is located in an out-of-the-way place in my closet, where it's sorta dark, kinda private, but i can still get in to clean up after she's done with her crapping.
after i had it set up, i'd just keep an eye on her and when she had that i'm-about-to-crap-on-your-carpet gleam in her eye, i'd intercept her and place her in the pan. it seems like i had to keep a watch on her for about a month, before the crap-in-the-bucket routine became the norm. my lizard craps once a day (usually), the paper stuff absorbs the liquid parts of the mess, and all i gotta do is just scoop out the clump and refill the pan when necessary.
