Okay so I haven’t been on here in quite a while so I don’t know the situation so...
1.) What is the problem?
2.) What are your temp’s and how are you measuring them?
And normally poop is soft, do you mean runny or just soft? :)

from my experiance with reptiles the white is a calcium output most calcium will be used up in bones when its ingested but there is always an out put (poop) which is seen in the form of white with the brown poop if there is alot of it then mabe cut back the calcium that your giving him?

Actually, the white is called a urate. It’s the form urine comes out in in reptiles.
Snakesgalore, please don’t give out facts if you don’t know if they’re true.

Ok iI have the liquid calcium and on the bottle it says to give three drops on the mouth so I did that and all of a sudden she was a mess with shed all over her she is still walking around with her eyes close. I’m hoping the liquid calcium will work it says to give it everyday. I’m still having a problem with finding the powered calcium without the d3. The liquid I have doesn’t have the d3. Also I have been only leaving the red light on to see if she starts to open her eyes.... I’m so mad right now. I told my daughter if her gecko dies shes not getting another one.......Michele...... Oh she also ate her shed

If you can’t find a jar of the calcium, you can buy a cuttlebone in the bird section of the petstore and sometimes even the pet area of the grocery store. It’s a very inexpensive source of pure calcium.
Then just grate, file, crush, etc. the cuttlebone into powder. It’s super soft, so you can even use your hands if you don’t mind the "I’ve been baking all day" look.

I wouldn’t use the cuttlebone, just because you don’t know what’s in it. But if you can confirm it’s pure calcium, than sure, use it.
As for the baby food, try Albertsons if you have one where you live. Any organic all meat baby food will work. Turkey, chicken, etc.
