Hi Dan,

I could not make out anything significant there, sorry! I would recommend
getting rid of that substrate though. Most breeders I know keep their fat-tails
on something a lot more moist, like spaghnum peat moss topped by orchid bark.
Ever since that substrate came out commercially  non-domestic vets have seen a
lot of cases of impaction from it in leopards and beardies. Not sure about
fat-tails but perhaps someone here will have some input for you on that. Also
the mixed color of it would make it hard for you to see problems with feces as
was in my case in viewing your photo. I can't imagine being a herp and looking
at that either! ;-)

Substrate issues aside, when in doubt get a fecal done. Also when in doubt as a
temporary measure put the gecko on paper towels until you are satisfied there
is no health issue there.
