Healthy Gecko?

[moefv]

Hey guys I got my gecko last week and he hasn't pooped for a week since I got him. I wanted to know if this is normal and if he is healthy (see pic below). He is a Hypo Tangerine and he likes to be handled once in a while. He is almost an adult I would say 6 or 7 inches! God Bless - Moefv

Shure looks that way. Where was he purchased?

He was purchased from a breeder at Repti-Con here in Florida! He seems healthy to me too just wanted some opinions! God Bless - Moefv

He ate a mealworm or two I think, but since I am at school I really don't know. He has been peeing though and he is very active and happy. I don't know what the problem is? God Bless - Moefv

Well if its not eating, it wont poop.

The breeder told me that he likes Superworms but I had 3 in their for a whole week and never touched one of them. He ate 4 mealworms but I am still waiting for the poop. Thank you for the advice! God Bless - Moefv

congrats on your new gecko. he looks great, lovely and healthy.
dont worry about the not eating hes lovely and fat witch means he could happily go for a few weeks without eating.
you havnt had him long so he will be still settling in to his new environment. moving and new things are extremely stressful on them so just be patient and let him settle in for a while, keep handling to a minimum during this period.

Yeah I handle him 5 minutes a day and then put him back in his cage. God Bless - Moefv

I would stop handling him until he starts eating better.
