Just thought I'd share a video of Toothless eating now that he's nice and comfy in his new enclosure.
About the pooing question... he usually always poos in his water, but I have noticed for the past few weeks he has not gone in the water, and I cannot find any poo around the enclosure. I'm assumming he's going underneath the shelf which is impossible to see under without removing it. Should I remove the shelf to check? I'm relunctant to do so as it would stress him out, and he must be pooing because he's eating like a tank and not bloated in the least.
I guess its just the change in his pooing routine that has me a touch worried...

I finally got a pretty good ToL measurement, and he's 29 inches :).

Just noticed that you said he is comfy in his new enclosure. He might just not be doing the toilet at all. When I moved plop (my bosc) to his new enclosure he went off food for a couple of weeks and after he did start eating it was another 2 weeks after that till he actually done the toilet, which was absolutely monstrous in size lol. So it might just be stress related and I wouldnt worry about him doing it under the shelf.

Looking good! I like how he actually has to work for his food, and the setup really helps with that, with all the branches.
He's probably just going where you can't see it or is holding it in. Either way I really wouldn't worry about it, at least for now.

Thanks for the advice. He did go for almost a week without eating when I first moved him in and lost a bit of weight, and he's also growing like a weed again, so maybe his body is just using everything up (or he's hiding it).

How much more can I expect him to grow? He's a year old now and since moving him into the new enclosure he's having another big growth spurt (he's shed twice in less than a month).

The new enclosure certainly give him lots of excersise :). His cute little forarms are becoming quite muscular and alot of the time he prefers to scale the two foot high wall rather than use the ramp.
