How to re-potty train adult iguana?

My 7.5 year old male green iguana has become lazy in his potty training. I moved him into a badass huge cage last month and he has since forgotten to go potty in his potty water bin that he used to go in. He has another water dish that he's supposed to drink from and soak in but, I don't see him in either of the water bins often.if really, ever. He's been deficating on the newspaper in the other corner of the cage. So I'm trying to find out how I can get him to use the water more. Any ideas?
Answers:
Hello..he's chosen the place he wants to potty %26 that's potty training, if you want him to use something else, put that in the place he's chosen to use as his potty ..>Take Care :)
That is just weird potty training.
Well, mine are free roaming. But if your babe is in a cage, why does it matter where he go? So, he changed his mind. I would suggest cleaning w/ soap, and thoroughly the dishes, put newspaper down where he goes and then just wrap up the feces in the paper and throw out.

Besides he is older, or old. Perhaps keeping track of the 2 different waters is confusing and he would rather keep it simple for him. We too get old. When he is old, it may be too much, too complicated to keep track of which water to poop in and would rather remember not to poop in water period because he needs to drink water. Who wants to drink water with poop in it?
