The lactulose usually does the job, a warm shower as well gets things going, how are you administering the lactulose?

also when giving baths make sure the water is really warm as possible, as long as its comfortable for you to put your own hand in. And keep basking temps at 34 celsius. I've been through exactly the same and got really stressed out about it. It will happen...

Great news. Hopefully he'll get back to going more regularly for you. I bet you feel a weight off your shoulders now.
