Getting New Cham!

[PattyCake]

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I am also getting a baby veiled chameleon very soon. I know pretty much everything about veileds since I researched like crazy for the past month. I only have one more question: How do I tell if my Cham's poop is healthy and how do I tell if he's pooping enough? How ofthen should he be pooping? Thanks a lot!

when they are babies they pretty much poop everyday because they eat alot. Their poop and pee, which is called a urate is all in one. The poop should be one solid brown or blackish piece and the urate should be white. It is two pieces that hook together. The urate comes out first and then the poop after. It should not be runny but more solid.

Hello, welcome to the forum As Carol said.....also if the white (urate) part starts going yellowish to orange that is a sign of dehydration. Here is a great basic caresheet for Veileds - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/chameleonsinmyhouse/395-veiled-chameleon-care-sheet.html
