An entire block of posts, wiped out over silliness : )

You don't need to force feed or issue a laxative, you just need some better temps.

Low to mid 80's are fine for ambient temps, but providing a basking temp of 130F (surface temp, measured with a temp gun) will get your lizard's metabolism up and running, appetite and activity will increase, as will poopsterisms.

At 100-105F for basking, the digestive system is like thick molasses, and it just doesn't run as well as it should.

Best of luck.
