My year old redfoot hasn't pooped in a week. I have him on coco coir so I don't think he is impacted. I soak him everyday for half an hour. Any advice would be appreciated. Temps are in the 86-75 range.

The warm soak and the moving/walking all around the larger tub will help get things moving if he is a little constipated. Also, your temps, 86-75 range. You do have a basking spot of 95-100 correct?

About the soaking I do it in a spring mix container. Yes basking spot is always in the 90's but he hardly ever goes under it.
