air bubbles in stool

[RabidDragon]

: 5ish month old panther chameleon (my first), breeder bought at a repticon , I’ve had for nearly 2 months
Question: Occasionally has a air bubble in his stool . I can't find any references to this on the forum… and I greatly suspect this isn’t right. Parasites would be my first guess. I didn’t think I would have to worry about parasites too much because he isn’t wild caught.
Thoughts?

It's normal, digestion causes some gas.

I'm not saying that it's parasites, and it probably isn't, but it is always good to get a fecal test done every six months. Chameleons don't have to be wild caught to get parasites. For example, crickets can sometimes carry pinworms. It is always better to be on the safe side.
