How often do adult blue tongued skinks defecate?

[rich_19]

Mine hasn't defecated in about 5 days, yet he still eats everyday. I keep him on newspaper and his heat source is around 95 to 105 degrees. He still urinates about every other day. Should I be worried or not?

Not just yet but you might wanna give him a bath in luke warm water, not too deep only up to his flanks.

Do they prefer to defecate while in water or does it just seem to help them out?

My blue tongued skink only defecates about once a week, id say. but then, i only feed my blue tongued skink twice a week, which is how often an adult should eat. obviously, babies and juvies should eat more often. but anyway, mine definetely doesn't go that often.
