I've been following my cham and am curious on if there are any implications that could lead to the decrease of his fat pads on his casque. He seems otherwise alright, however I have yet to see him with his casque this small. I had earlier been focusing on not feeding him as much as I had been, and was focusing on around 4 feeders around every other day and sometimes daily. Previously he had been given around 6-8 feeders daily.
He sits at the proper basking temperatures around 85*, reptiglo 5.0 bulb, following a dusting schedule of calcium w/o daily, rotated with reptivite with d3 2 times a week. He runs on a mistking, as well as a dripper, his urates are never perfect and hes tough to get drinking. I find the tip of the urate to always seem to be orange followed by white. Hes very active, always eats immediately, and has great grip. I just want to ensure he doesn't have signs of a bacteria or parasite that would develop and require treatment until I get a fecal float done or if the casque decrease is just due to a change in feeders. The only change I can say is that I have stopped with superworm snacks as of lately and stuck to the staple diet... planning on introducing some higher fat into his diet.

the pictures/video arent the best... damn iphone camera. I'll work on getting some better ones but you can see the clear difference. Aside from that, I notice no difference in him.
