Ok, as far as I can tell the husbandry is ok. I have a digital thermometer-basking site is about 105-108, rest of enclosure is around 85. (55 gal reptarium) He's about 9 months old, 16 inches. I feed superworms (2-3, dusted with vitamins and Ca), pellets and greens, although he mainly eats the worms. Sometimes he gets crickets or mealworms instead. He has UVA and UVB. he doesn't seem particularly depressed, although he doesn't really bask that much. Problem is, I haven't really seen any poop in a few weeks. I've misted him a number of times per day, soaked him in warm baths, and physically put him in the basking area. Nothing seems to help. Should I be worried even though he still eats normally and climbs the walls, etc?
Thanks!

Usually several warm soaks a week will help this problem, but if not you might want to contact your vet. I went through the same thing with my beardie and the vet had to give fluids, she said he was dehydrated. Good luck!
