I have noticed since yesterday my chameleon has stopped eating and is secreting a clear liquid from his bum. I caught him with his eyes closed during the day today too. I noticed a discoloration on his tail area and its the liquid drying a pale skin colour... I rinced it off and his colours are back however I am worried as to what this is!!! Why has he stopped eating and what is this clear liquid????
