Fecal Question

[Myerz77]

I have noticed lately my chameleon has solid brown stool, but the white is runny, is this any cause for concern? Thanks for your time,

Has your cham been eating worms? Hornworms and silkworms can cause runny poo.

My veiled had the same when he started eating horn worms.
I did a search and found this thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/runny-urate-19736/

The description of the fecal sounds fine. The white part (the urate) can be runny from having a lot of water/feeder with high water content. Thats nothing to worry about, however I would still get a fecal done considering he/she is a wc animal...

See ya,

Meal worms are not good and hard to digest. Try superworms and silkworms.
