My baby chameleon is about 2 months old I have had him about a week and lately Iv noticed his poop is all yellow. I think this means he's not drinking enough. Am I right? He eats roughly 4-5 crickets a day and I mist his cage 4-5 times a day and I have also put a ice cube on top of his cage so it drips and he knows it's there but I don't think he is drinking from it? Any helpful suggestions I'm really worried about my little guy

Today all his poop was yellow but I have seen it when it looks healthy. I'm misting 4-5 times a day for I guess 20seconds each time he is in an 18x18x24 cage. So I'm making sure there's plenty of water available and the ice cube just there for when I'm away briefly to make sure water is always there. I have seen Jim drink but not in the past 3 days

could you possibly just be seeing the urate part and the poop is hiding somehwhere in the plants or something. No, yellow poop itself does not sound normal. Now for your misting, you are not misting long enough. You should be doing that for about 3-5 minutes and getting the enclosure plants pretty much soaked. sometimes it takes quite awhile for them to get stimulated to drink. So try that. I would also suggest getting yourself a Little Dripper which can run for a long period of time to try and help with getting him to drink.
