Baby bearded dragon... We've had him a day and a half and no poop. Is this normal?

There is SO MUCH varied information on the Internet for these little guys. We bought him Friday evening, fed him half a dozen tiny crickets (within the between-the-eyes rule), gave him a few hours of basking, and then the night black light.

Now, admittedly, we did have sand and pellet bedding the first night. After reading how bad it is, I immediately got rid of it and lined the bottom with black felt (figured it would absorb the heat well). Basking temp was 90–100 all day, ate 12–14 crickets and a tiny amount of green bean slices. Misted 3 times. Still, no poop.

I’m going to do the warm bath thing in the morning, but I wanted to know if it’s too early to worry yet. Some people have said that the new environment could stall pooping a couple of days, but most say 1–2 times a day.
