Help with my leopard gecko?

[WyrmSwarm]

I’ve had my leopard gecko for about a month or two and he was doing very well. On Sunday morning I came back from a week long trip. I had left my Leo alone with enough mealworms and water to keep him fed (I had no one able to personally feed him or check up on him, otherwise I would’ve done that instead.) When I got back, he had eaten mostly all of the worms except maybe a couple. I checked his temps and everything seemed fine and normal. My gecko however almost seems restless as if he is trying to escape his enclosure. I haven’t seen him poop and he doesn’t seem to have and appetite either. I should note that he was pooping while I was away, because there was a nice pile in the corner. But since I’ve been back I’ve yet to see him poop. I feared impaction so I have him a bath but nothing came out, I also checked his belly and I don’t see any visual signs of him having an impaction. I keep my gecko on paper towel and no substrate. Also he is not lethargic at all, if anything he seems a bit more active. I’m not sure what age he is or even what gender to be honest, he was sold to me as a ‘baby’, around maybe 3 months? So I would guess that he is 5 months or so. Any help would be appreciated!

The only thing I can think of would be maybe it’s too warm and it’s trying to get away from the heat.... but if you have a warm and cool side then you should be good.
Ive had my girl for about 14 years with no issues other than the occasional month long fast. I think she’s had times that she was more active than usual

I was thinking that as well, but I checked all the temps and they seem fine. His warm side is around 91 degrees and his cool side is 70. The temps have been this way since I got him and he was doing fine before. My main concern is that mine is not pooping for whatever reason, and I will probably end up taking him to the vet soon anyways just to be safe

No poop means impaction. What kind of surface do you have him on?

I keep him on paper towel only

I see. Try feeling his stomach for any lumps.

I did yesterday and today and nothing felt abnormal, also I didn’t see any dark spots that could indicate any blockages

That’s good then. Can probably safely rule out impaction.

Thanks for everyone's inputs, my gecko ended up pooping and I learned a few days later that he was getting ready to shed which explains why he hasn't been eating.
