well one of my igs won't poop if we're anywhere around her and you said you 'put him in it for him to poop'. however, this ig poops in the water every day when we're not around! if you leave a large, fairly deep (4 inches for an adult maybe) rubbermaid full of warm water in the bottom of his enclosure for a few days i'll bet you'll find poop in it.

he poops on his own but i have heard ppl that have igs that dont to put them in water becuase they almost always poop. i just found it odd that zephyr doesnt....weird lil boy(actually im not sure on the sex yet, hes kinda small still)

i knew what you meant, and as i said my big female won't poop in front of anyone, either. she'll poop in the water if i leave it in there, though.
