i have been soacking my timor and feeding him and i have watched him eat on a number of occations , but i cant find any poop in his cage is this normal for them to not poop for almost 2 weeks??? maybe i should take him to get him checked, he has also developed a slightly discolored patch of skin on his right underbelly were it has turned purple like a bruise, idk can anyone help????

i cant decide weither this purple mark is like a sharpie mark , like they tagged the ones they were going to bring to the show or what, cuz its about as wide as a sharpie tip and kinda faded purple and about an inch or so long HHHHMMmmmmmm

i've never had to treat impaction in a monitor before. with the ones i've had in the past, they deficated fairly regularly...ok, they pooped all the time really. i know with snakes, you give them a warm soak and gently massage them. i was never comfortable with massaging them, but i found that just making them crawl from one hand to the other for awhile stimulated them just the same. however, if he hasn't gone in two weeks, brother it's time to get that monitor to the vet. why take the chance?
