Every morning, I check his enclosure, and have yet to find any excrement in there. He poops like crazy when I have soaked him, but nothing in the habitat. Same with urates. He eats just fine, and has no issues. I'm just curious if this is a common issue? He's only been with me a week now.

First off tortoises often eat their own poop so there's that! but in this case it sounds to me like its pooping in the water, and doesn't need to poop otherwise. you've only had it a week. I have had plenty of baby radiated tortoises that poop regularly when I soak them and I might go months without seeing poop in the enclosure. Normal.
