But 2 weeks w/out poo is no big deal at all, very common. If you want to help her poo you can give any or all of these : baby food sweet potato, squash green bean or prunes, a few big drops of olive oil or raw honey. Applesauce or canned pumpkin can also do the trick. Then the next day give a warmer than usual bath. Eventually Hercules will poo, just be patient.

An adult [ or even much younger ] dragon eat crickets, dubias + other insects in huge quantities and poo regularly. A piece of popcorn [ unless it was a lot ] would be a drop in the bucket compared to all the chitin + legs + bug parts ! So if she is not pooing, as we look through the threads this time of year you will see a good amount of " not pooping " questions that are very similar. It's the time of year and it's also just a frequent question.....and I did mention the " laxatives " that work and have been working here for years already.
But the popcorn will have no effect on an adult, sub adult or juvenile dragon.

Anyway she should be fine. Just try some of the things that I mentioned to help her poo. You haven't had her for too long have you ? What was she eating before ?
