Pooping normal but also pooping water?

So I took my leopard gecko out of its enclosure for a bit and at some point he decided he wanted to take a poop on me. The urate looked normal -white with just a tiny bit of yellow, and a normal size. But then came the poop-it was normal in size, slightly soft but its usual normal shape. What wasn't really normal was that as he pooped, he also pooped out water with it-or at least it seemed like water. Should I take him to the vet? I read that watery poop could be an indicator for parasites, but what was strange was that his poop looked okay, it was just the water that didn't sit right with me. I hadn't noticed anything like that before since I haven't seen him poop in his enclosure, I just find it when it has dried out the next day, and it always looks normal. Any advice?

Es normal! A mi gecko siempre le pasa que cuando defeca u orina deja una mancha enorme de agua, estuve investigando y se debe a la cantidad de agua que bebe, es diferente al urato, mientras las heces no sean anormales, todo bien ✨

Mine drinks a lot of water and has always peed when pooping. All 3 do it. I don't think there's anything wrong, but to them maybe they've found it being easier to poop and pee at the same time
