Poop Post, But I could use some replies

Tegu hasn't pooped in like 3(?) weeks I think..... but maybe more or about that? I can feed a fairly huge/ solid mass in his belly. He hasn't stopped eating, I've been feeding him eggs/raw eggs with mineral oil instead of his regular meat diet to prevent making it worse. He still, pees and gets fluids out that are mixed with little bits of fecal mater. But he tries for quite a bit to poop, struggling, but nothing ever comes out. Im bathing him every day for 30 mins to an hour.

So I'm wondering if I should just give him more meats? maybe that will help push it along? Just keep waiting?

Tried a nice warm bath? My tegu likes to have a 15 to 30 min bath in warm water that goes up to her shoulders. Usually she’ll go in the bath. If not, a nice free roam walk around the house after the bath loosens her bowels for a good poo.

I was giving him a bath every single day for like 30 mins. Sometimes an hour if he read enjoying it. But no dice.

The solution was honestly just feeding him some turkey ( I mixed it with mineral oil, idk if that helped) and eventually he went. Very messy lol
