The sulcata that I got last Tuesday hasn't went poop since I have got him. I soak him for 30 mins every day and he is eating good. What else can I do to help him go poop?
Not sure how old your sully is but I would't let the temps drop below 80, and keep humidity high. As for the pooping, how about grating little cucumber and mixing into his chopped up greens, or aloe?The guy that I got him from said he soaked him and he pooped last Tuesday before I picked him up. His basking temps are around 100 and cool side during the day around 84 or so. Night temps around 75. I take him out everyday weather permitting for hour or so . It is probably just me. I am a worry wort when it comes to eating and all with animals. He just hasn't pooped when I soak him.

Eureka!!! Congrats.Good news he pooped this morning.
The reason I was asking about the age was bcs the small babies are much more delicate then fully grown animals who are more resilient to occasional substandard conditions. Little babies sometimes do but most times don't and quickly start feeling consequences of low night temps, inadequate hydration, not enough calcium in diet or not enough UVB, etc. It is recommended here on the forum that night time temps for babies never drop below 80F especially if we keep their enclosures very humid (this refers mainly to RI's) Also low temps slow down their metabolism and their overall body organ functions which includes the gut.He is about 3 yrs old
Hurrayyyyyy!!!!He is about 3 yrs old
