Whats normal for one, may be different for another one. As they grow older their bowel movements change in how often they go, some may still go daily, some skip a day or two and some think they can draw interest on it so they hold on as long as they can!
We have adults that go from daily to one that only goes every two weeks and then ONLY if I soak him in water right then, soaking him a few days early and he will not go.
Just to rule out its not constipation, you can soak the beardie and also offer food that have a higher moisture content or get them to drink more, those usually stimulate the to go.

I take it everything came out ok. 
Whenever I notice mine haven't gone for a few days, and it seems longer than normal, all I have to do is plop them in a warm bath for a few minutes and viola! I don't have anything that could impact them so I know it's not serious, but I like to make sure they stay regular.
