I'd get rid of the CHE and get his basking spot a little hotter with a more powerful bulb. What is the hot side ambient temp.? I'm very skeptical that there's an impaction issue and think your overreacting. A week is not a tremendously long time between bowel movements especially since your basking temp. is on the low side. Plus you aren't feeding him anything that could possibly have caused an impaction.
