Your cham is dehydrated, a good dropping has one side black and the other side a pure white for a healty, well hydrated cham. A little yellow/orange is ok. Up the amount of time you mist. Do you have a dripper as well? What is your misting schedule?
You can also put your cham in the shower in his favorite plant. Place the shower head towards the wall so the pressure isn't too strong and will only mist him. This should encourage your cham to drink and will also rehydrate the skin as well somewhat.
What type of cham do you have?

My wife mists him an hour after the lights turn on at 9 am. Then I mist him at lunch time and 1 more time around 4:30. I usually spray a whole bottle of warm water in his cage each time. He does have a dripper that get filled once a day. I ordered a mistking and it will be in today. Thank you for your help. Oh and he is a panther morph from kammerflage .50 ambilobe x .50 sambava. He is pictured in my avatar at about 5 mo old.

Well try misting more times throughout the day, I have montane species which drink like crazy. The panther I had was much easier to maintain hydrated. Also what is your humidity level? If it's too low that may be the reason he's not super hydrated. You can also try feeding, I believe hornworms, as they have lots of water content in them. Some other feeders do as well. Feeding your feeders juicy veggies and fruit will also help with hydration too, some people have even misted their feeders before feeding them to their chams. I've no idea how that works though.
Can't go wrong with a kammer baby, he's gorgeous

It had the white part connected still, it just had some orange-ish colored stuff mixed in it.

Shower time and consider a drip from a cup w/a pin hole. I only spray twice a day but take time to spray heavily enough and watch to see if they are drinking.

you could try the ice cube trick as well.... my little boy loves this. i mainly use this to water his plants but put ice cubes over his plants the water will drip and he will have an extra water source and you will have another way to water your plants hope that helps
hope that helps

I put him in the shower with his big ficus yesterday and he loved it. Im gonna make sure I do that at least once or twice a week from now on.
I got my mistking in yesterday and have to finish setting it up today after work. Thank you for your guys for your advise.
