Im noticing white chalky excretions in my tank but I’m not seeing any turds. Can the lizard still be blocked up or are they fine?

    Stumbled in from /All. It’s been a long while since I had a reptile, but I remember that I would soak my boy in warm water if I was worried he was backed up. Lizard turds are usually white tipped black/brown blobs, so it might be a good idea to give your lizard a shallow warm bath to soak in

        A bath soak depends on the reptile. A chameleon? No. A bearded dragon? Sure!

        But yeah, the white/white, yellow stuff is just urates that get extracted the same as turds and wouldn’t worry about impaction now.
