My tegu hasn't pooped for 5 or 6 days which is very unusual for him. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Warm water baths and fish oil in his food. Watch him closely. If he's eaten and won't poop, he may need to go to the vet.

Ok. He has eaten. If he doesn't pop today I will take him.

Keep up the warm baths....good long soaks. Trickle the water in the tub too. I think it triggers a sense of needing to go.
If they are becoming dehydrated or really are constipated, which happened to my male, one of the signs is that his tongue was no longer it's normal healthy pink, but instead a grey-ish color. Prob need to check with vet if that occurs.

Canned pumpkin helps too.

Side note- canned pumpkin is an excellent vermicide for tortoises.
