Hmmm . . sounds like they definitely might be constipated. Your cage set-up sounds good. I think that it may have something to do with your temps. Mealworms provide plenty of roughage however they can be difficult to digest properly if the geckos don't have a warm area to rest their bellies on. Do you have a UTH? I think that belly heat, while not critically necessary, is much more beneficial to your leos and helping them digest their food. Make sure that the area directly above your UTH is between 90-95 degrees F. Also, invest in a temp gun with a laser. You can order them through LLL Reptile or Pro Exotics. They are so handy, one of the best tools I have for my herps. Also, make sure that the geckos are well hydrated. You can test this by gently pinching the skin by the hind leg (just before the leg). If it stays pinched before slowly going back, then the animal is dehydrated. Give your leos some Pedialyte to rehydrate them (use a curve-tipped syringe) and see if that doesn't help them a bit.
Good Luck!
