How often should chams poop?

[Escalade]

Sorry for the gross subject but how often should a panther be pooping? Mine used to go everyday but for the past couple months its been more like every 3-5 days.

He only eats around 3-4 small crickets a day, so I usually feed him a couple horworms, waxworms and phoenix worms to fill in the gap because he used to eat around 8 crickets a day.

My basking temp is about 87 degrees but if I leave the probe there for a while it reaches around 95 but thats after leaving the probe on his basking spot for like 20 minutes, so I'm not sure if thats an accurate reading?

edit: hes around 6 months old

Normally they will poop once every couple days if they are on a good balanced diet.. Some may poop every day. It's not really the food that is the problem.. It's the temps.. At your temps which are kind of high the animal should be producing stool regularly even though 95 is kind of high.. Adults will also slow eating dramatically coming out of puberty and during the winter time. So the question is... How old is the animal in question?

my first panther pooped every single day at exactly 10:00-10:30 AM once he became an established adult.

when younger, i didnt pay attention much but it definitely wasn't that exact.

My Kiwi poos everyday usually after the first misting. He is 3 months old now.

They poop when they want to poop. We've seen stories here about chameleons not pooping for somewhat amazing lengths of time.

There's a saying:

In a Mommy's view, "constipated" means pooping less than Mommy, "irregular" means pooping more than Mommy.

Okay..it's only a saying among Mommy's....

But the point is: there isn't ONE right and even Mommy needs to take a step back and recognize that.

That goes for chameleon parents as well.
