Dirty Cham...

[Buckeye238]

So I've noticed that my chameleons rear end is usually white....and there is white on his tail usually...does anyone know a good way to get his, for lack of better word, poo off of him?

Mine never have this problem. I suspect there may be something wrong with the diet.

He should be able to get it off himself. Often if they can't/don't there is a problem with the chameleon. Can you post some pictures?

I had a Cham that was suffering from parasites and his urate was liquid every time he passed some. This would often mean he made a mess of himself in his bum/tail area.

Is the urate liquid like or is it formed like the poo?

If it is liquid like I would recommend a faecal check.

It seems to be more of a poo than a liquid cause it stays clumped. i cant exactly catch him in the act but there is a clump stuck to his tail that i see. it seems like in between of a liquid and solid. kind of a mush i guess. how do you do a fecal check?

take the freshest poop you can get to the vet. Put in ziploc baggie, with a wet paper towel and store in fridge if you are not going to the vet right away.
