Poop Spot, anyone else?

[dinomom]

Anyone else's cham have a very specific spot for going potty? Any time I can't find Dino I can look down to the very lowest branch, it is sort of in the open (was placed to allow him to climb all the way to the bottom if he wanted). He always I mean 100% of the time goes here to potty. Luckily for me, this means it is not sliding down plants or anything, and it is an open and easy to remove spot. I wanted to take a pic of him there this AM but it was obvious I was disturbing his mojo and I did not want to interrupt.

Maybe instinctively he is trying not to soil his living area? Any other ideas? He does go to a great deal of trouble to do this as he never travels more than halfway down the height of the cage for any other reason.

What species? I have heard that mellers do this.

 

[dinomom]

Mr. Puff definitely has a poop spot right next to his basking area.

Beman does this. Always the very bottom back branch in his cage.

I can’t tell about Jack as his plants are too thick, but all of my others have their favorite spots.

 

[dinomom]

OK I guess it is unanimous!

My youngest lat does this right on his big bushy plant instead of the soil with springtails it’s almost as annoying as when a gecko poops on the glass instead of the floor

All my guys have a poop spot.

Same here, my veiled has 2 poop spots and they´re both outside of her free range. She´ll sit at the farmost branch, all in the open, to dump everything overboard on our floor.

My new male veiled has a fav spot. He outgrew the first one and now goes on the back part his feeding board so its easy for me to clean up!

My male Jackson’s doesn’t have a particular spot but the male Jackson’s I had years ago did.

Dropzone confirmed......

My Jackson’s I had over 25 years ago now used to travel to the heater I had (it was off) and then climb to the floor and poop there every day! He was on a small free range. Lol!

Love it when they got those little routines....

LOL that is so cute! I wish mine did this. Neither of the chams I rescued seem to do this at all, and the one I had previously did not. I DO have a beardie that will not poop on her furniture, lol. But no chams that do that . I have veileds, too .

For 100% she’ll mis it

 

[chamimom]

Okay, so I was mistaken. This is the second day Bambi (my veiled) has pooped in her food bowl after eating her feeders out of it, lol. I clean it well of course, and it's tupperware plastic! But hopefully she continues this. I could just replace it with another one after she eats her feeders. You might try the container idea, @dinomom considering my experience with Bambi so far!

Eustis doesn’t have a regular place he poops either
