Does he have a healthy poop?

Is this normal? He had been molting last week too. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to double check.

No, one end should be black (feces) and other end should be white (urate). A little yellow is still ok but your cham is dehydrated. Either up your misting or you can also put him in the shower.
 
The stuff on the left came out first and it's pretty dark. He's not very photogenic so I only took the one.
 
3-5 minutes seriously? Damn directions said 30sec every 3 hours. Yeah it dries out pretty quick or least within 3hrs
 
add a dripper that is somewhat slow constant and hits a goo size leaf he can drink from..that can help

some of my chams rather like the dripper than the mist, bujt i do both just in case

or try horn worms/silks if you are worried for dehydration
 
I do 3 minute mistings in the am and pm and 2 or 3 times inbetween for a minute and everything is pretty much dry before the lights go out exept for a few drops on the bottom that I wipe down.

Are you using a dripper also?

My old veileds poop was always a tad bit orange even though he would drink and he lived a long time for a WC.
 
You can make a dripper. It can be as simple as a cup with a pin hole in the bottom. Some people have said that if you use a plastic soda bottle you can poke a hole in the bottom and control the drip by loosening/tightening the cap (because if the cap is loose, the water will drain out faster).
 
I had trouble in the beginning getting Tanzy to drink. I have a jug washed out with a hole in it so the water droplets hit a leaf that is in the light so he will see it (i went through several cups and things till i found the jug that works great). I also had to increase the duration of my mistings. And then one day finally white! Occasionally i still see a bit of yellow for a day.
A lot of people offered great advise on my thread titled "orange". Pretty much same advise here though. Gluck:)
