Skink not pooping?
Hi! I’m a relatively new skink owner and I’m a wee bit worried. My blue tongue skink, Baby, hasn’t pooped for about a week now. He usually poops a day or two after I feed him toward the front of the enclosure and nothing has changed. I have found urate which usually means there’s poop nearby but I haven’t found any. He loves to burrow and is sometimes in the dirt for like 5 days so I think maybe he’s just been pooping in his substrate.
I desperately don’t want him to get sick if I can help it and I can’t handle him yet. He’s quite shy and his previous owners didn’t handle him often. So, I can’t feel his stomach to make sure he’s not impacted. He’s active as much as he used to be. He still basks and explores. He also is eating just fine. Anyway, I’m just confused and hoping someone who knows more than me can let me know if I’m stressing for nothing.
