How long has it been since your mates royal done a poo?
Montiiee poo's when he sheds, which is roughly every 5 to 6 weeks.

I personally wouldn't worry too much just yet. Montiiee last poo'd on the 10th July (5 and a half weeks ago), which was the last time he shed.
He is blue at the moment so another shed and poo imminent.

I dont think your friend has anything to worry about. I bought a royal on the 10th June and he dumped for the first time today.
But my female will go ever 2-3 weeks.

Royals owned "lots"

probably more worried that needs be at the minute as alot of place selling them when they talk about cleaning will say that they only poo once a week (matching with feeding) but as every one has proved above this is not the case.

I would tell him to stop if he hasn't and if you ever do have to bath them, warm to them still feels cool to us, about 30C is fine.
