hey everyone~
i've had my leo for 2 weeks... he's been doing GREAT and had solid feces until today. i checked a while ago when i got home and he had normal urates, but his feces looks different. it looks the same as before, BUT with a wet/goo-ey coating. any advice on how to fix this?

I think that's pretty normal for freshly laid poop. Unless it's got a weird color or odor or there's a lot of it (like snot), it should be ok.

What color is it? If it is kinda gooey and grey it might be shed poop.

the color of his poop is brown~ he shed last week the 3rd day after i got him and that poop was grayish brown 
hehe~ and it looked more dry than the goo-ey covered poop from yesterday. when it dried up, it looked a little bit more shriveled - i dont know if this is normal or not b/c i'm still a newbie at this

after a while, i noticed it dry up and it looked like the rest of the poop from before. there's no weird color... it's still brown and there was no strange odor or anything... and there's not a lot of it - pretty much the same size as the rest (just looks a little bit more shriveled up after it dried). i guess reading about everyone else's fecals and parasite problems got me paranoid b/c that was the 1st time i saw it... before his poop would be dry comin out. the only difference i've made is the number of mealies in his dish. before i used to put 6-10 mealies, but a website said to give him 10-15 at all times~ other than that, everything's the same. i re-cleaned the terrarium last night and i replace the water everyday and everything... hopefully it's good, i'll check up on him more this week - i dont know if it's my paranoia or what lol
