Question re poop spots...

Jeannie Sep 07, 2003 10:48 PM

I know leos tend to poop in the same spot. This may be a silly question, but is there anything that causes them to prefer a particular spot? That is, warm side, cool side, in the middle? Thanks for any and all replies, it'll help a lot with setup.

Mine always picked the front corner on the cool side. I changed around the cage so now they poop in the hammock (it's on the cool side as well) lol! Katie

My Boo poops on the warm side in the front left corner of the tank. I have the UTH toward the back of the tank and the temps at the front aren't that high.

He is sooooo funny when he goes.......he gets on back leg up on the glass and poops right in the corner. I've had to put the paper towel up the glass cause he can get it to stick to the side hehehe. I think he's taking hints from my dog LOL
