pooping issuses

Magellan will not poop in his cage only in the most ridiculous places. today when he went (on the computer desk) there was a white creamy marital only a little bit then he pooped normal. Should I be worried cause I am. :?

Alot of dragons don't want to deal with their poop in their homes.

If that is the case with yours I would recommend twice a day poop baths! This will give him a clean place to go poop with no clean ups.

Oh well that makes since I saw that a few other dragons like poop baths. But what about the white creamy stuff is that because of the food? If I am reading right adult dragons get only 20-40 crickets 2-3 times a week I don't know I was giving them to him every day. He is my first, I have not even had him for a week so I am still super nervous about everything with him. I just want him happy and comfy

Sunny usually has the big white blob, then his usual green/brown/black blobs come next.

The white creamy stuff is called 'urates' and is the dragon equivalent of pee. This is normal and if the urates shrinks can be a sign that something is wrong.

I can't answer about feeding as my guy is only 3.5 months old and we still eat feeders twice a day.

But the others have answered you about the white stuff. If it's runny white poops... he's well hydrated!
