Their poop is less solid than a leopard gecko's, but not particularly hard to clean up - as long as you let the humidity drop and then mist them later in the day, it won't stay wet, and then becomes hard and dry like a leo's. The only issue is that they do let it fly whenever and wherever they feel the need. *Most* of it usually seems to end up on the floor of the enclosure, but you will need to clean the plants periodically.

I usually just wipe the whole enclosure down with water & paper towels and spot clean the plants. That seems to work out pretty well. Of course every now and then you need to do a more thorough cleaning involving some sort of disinfectant. I usually use bleach for that. If you do that, however, you need to be sure you're rinsing everything very thoroughly afterward, and then letting it all dry out in order to be sure you're not exposing your geckos to bleach fumes when you reinstall them in their home.
