Cham not pooping? /:

[macyb-vancouver]

My panther usually has a healthy poop about the size of my finger every two days or so, and he only went once last week, and this week he has had two very small poops. His basking spot is around 85-95 depending on the temperature outside that day. He has a dripper always going and I mist his cage two-three times per day. I saw him drinking water once last week but I'm not sure if he has again since then.
Another thing I noticed the other day was him trying to eat one of the more brownish leaves that was coming off of one of his plants. I've never seen him do this but now I'm worried that he's been doing it while I'm away, but I'm not sure. If he were to eat one of these leaves could it cause digestion/bowel movement problems? And how can get him to poop? Any tricks?

What kind of plant is it?

 

[macyb-vancouver]

It is a hanging pothos

How old is he? It may be a special plug that's dried up inside him so check his vent

He is about 9-10 months. He actually just had two sperm plugs come out, then took a good sized poop but it looked pretty unhealthy. It was in pieces, had some orange, and was very drippy. Hopefully that is the first step to getting his system clear of whatever got him backed up.

Runny stool--the brown stuff--is NOT good. That's diarrhea. If the urates--the white parts--were orange, that suggests he is dehydrated. Not having a bowel movement is also indicative of him not eating. Sounds like he might be unwell and should see a vet asap./

It wasn't all runny, just the urate part was. Also, he has been eating regularly. If it continues, I will definitely bring him to the vet thank you!

The urates were orange then he is Dehydrated, that may lead to constipation. Try to get him hydrated.

Have you tried bathing him in warm water ?

Stick him in a warm shower for 20/30 mins. Give him something to hild onto. Fake plants, ect.
Not only will he get super hydrated a lot of the time they take huge poops in the tub. This should work if he hasn't gone number 2 in a while.
Just stick him in the shower and leave him alone. When you come back there should be a gross surprise waiting for you to clean up.

The trick will be feeding him some silkworm n hornworms if he eat them,since what goes in his system will come out eventually,and the soft body worm will help his digestive problems.
