Cage Info:

Cage Type - 24"x24"x48"
Lighting - zoo med 24" T5 7:30am-8:30pm
Temperature - floor temp day/night 74°/70° basking spot day/night 85°/74° for measurements I have stationary gauges on the cages near the basking spot and towards the center but have a more accurate temp gun
Humidity - 75to80% during day and 60 at night due I think maybe from the house heater running a little more at night to maintain temp(obviously) I currently spray 4 to 6 times a day how ever much it takes to always have water droplets available and also a cool mist fogged that I slightly warm the water in to make the mist barely over room temp just so it does come out cool
Plants - all artificial vines, ivy, focus leaves and some other kind that catch water well. Will be putting in a real focus next week in center of cage
Placement - my cage is in the corner of of my room about 14" from the wall so it can still cross vent. No near fans vent is located across the room I run a air purifier across the room also which help keep air from getting stag. And I also run clean top rated house vent filters helps kill bacteria and a verity of other things. My cage is about 6'5 from floor
Location -Sacramento CA

Current Problem - poop from Saturday 4/5/14 brown section looks normal about 1" 1/2 white part tho is 3/4 white and has a reddish almost bloody maybe looking part very concerning pic attached let me know what everyone thinks

So here is the info that wasn't filled out posting from a smartphone on the go sorry guys
 
It's hard to tell from the picture, because all computer monitors are different, is the part you're concerned with orange or red? If it's orange, that usually means that they're dehydrated. You can try misting him more/longer , or give him a dripper, in the hopes that he'll drink more. Another thing you can try, is feeding him bugs that have a higher water content, like Hornworms or Silkworms. Do you ever see him drinking? Some chameleons are shy drinkers, and some take a while of misting before they're stimulated to drink.
 
It was definitely more on the red side blood like almost I've only seen him drink twice I walk in on him but I know he does I can see the spots he has licked dry. During misting he runs and hides but then I leave the room and come back in after 10 min and he's over by the leaves I'm sure he's drinking at that point
