I assume you mean last Sunday (March 1st), not just yesterday, was when he last had a bowel movement.

I would increase the basking temp so it reaches about 120F or a bit higher at the very top of his basking area. Make sure his basking area is wide and sloped, so he can choose how hot he wants to bask in. The top most accessible basking area should be 120F or even higher, with lower areas falling in the range of 100-120F so your dragon can choose what temps he needs.

Cut out the mealies, not worth it in my opinion for dragons. Better off feeding superworms instead. Silkworms, butterworms, hornworms and roaches can also be offered for variety.

I also wouldn't worry about him not pooping for a week. Some dragons like to hang onto it even while eating normally. My dragon goes about once a week and its a huge amount with plenty of fluids and shaped stool (not runny or hard) as dragon poop should be. Urates as well.

If your dragon is straining and trying to poop but little or nothing is coming out, that is a sign of impaction or other problem. If he just hasn't gone and is healthy and active otherwise, there shouldn't be any concern.

Make sure he gets a mixed salad as well, not just collard greens. Dragons need variety in their diets. Collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, endive, escaroli, etc should be mixed and offered. I like to use one to three staple greens (the first 3 are good staple greens) and one or two different greens (endive, escaroli, kale (sparingly), and other greens/vegetables) and rotate the others...trying for as much variety as I can.
