Current Problem - My cham had a minor problem about a month ago,(something sticking out of his rectum) went to the vets, treated with anti biotics for 2 weeks and everything was great for two weeks! Today its been 2 days he hasnt eating and a clear liquid discharge out of his bum with no poop. The liquid dries on his skin a light skin colour but washes off with water. He has not eaten but has been drinking water like crazy
 
I am definitely no expert, but it sounds like he might have spermed you. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me pipes in.

Good luck
 
I dunno its really weird. Its like a clear white discharge almost like water but theres also like a pale orange type of liquid too. He hasnt eaten or pooped in two days. but drinks like crazy
 
I haven't had that happen before. maybe someone else has. mine would just be going about its business and i would see it on the cage or on decor

will a chameleon stop eating for 4-5 days when sperming?

I would say no. Leaving sperm deposits is a normal activity for male chams. Depending on the number of worms you feed that could be the cause. I fed Popeye silkworms for a week or two and he became very constipated and lethargic. He tried to poop but couldn't. Could this be possible with your Cham? Could he be trying and just be expelling the clear liquid. This may have been the cause of his previous problem.:D
 
I gave him 2 superworms crunched them down fine i watched him... was fine for a few days but then this came up... I suspected constipation. What did you do to relieve the constipation??
 
he just started to shed today! could this be the reason... usually he stopped eating 1-2 days before shed now 3-4 is this normal as they age?
 
that just sounds like a runny urate to me. Sometimes there will be a clear liquid that comes out and the orange is also part of the urate. I don't think it is a sperm plug. They are not clear or orange in color.
 
and now to add on to all this I just caught him with his eyes closed in the middle of the day. He looked like he was sleeping, he is still shedding, has not eaten, has not defacated yet :(
