OK I have two geckos in the same 30 gallon tank, they are both the same size and eat pretty much the same amount, but my female she will poop regularily like every 2 days, while my male will only poop like every 4-7 days, and he will leave massive poops. Do any of your geckos do this?

I have absolutly no idea.... but as long as the gecko stays consistant, I wouldn't worry about it.

heh heh silly, this seems to be something that carries onto the human world. I live with 4 other guys, I am the only girl in the house, and well to be honest, I know each guy disapears once a week for an hour to the bathroom to take care of business. Seems like you guys just like to store your poo *ha, that or you are all full of it 
* anyways, I know most girls go everyday or every other day. The only answear I can come up with (and it's going to sound sexist but I am a girl so I can say it) is we have those great baby-birthing hips that just help with the process (laugh).
Woman just go more often then guys, but take smaller poos, while guys well, are just full of it

My male blizzard does this as well. His poops are gigantic and usualy every 3-5 days appart. My females poop every time I feed them and their poop is about 1/4 the size of his. I've tried feeding him more regularly and I've tried feeding him smaller food items, neither seemed to make a difference. I would imagine geckos are like humans in the sense that we all metabolize differently.
