since i added tile and screen to his cage he has not pooped or peed in his cage at all . he is kinda potty trained . every morning i put a square tub of warm water 4''deep in his cage , i then put him in it and he goes then climbs out onto his basking rock . and then its flushed .He's done for the day . the room and his cage stay spotless and fresh , no smells at all . I have been doing this since he got home from the vet . The first week he resisted a little , but now he just sits there and goes .
