Welcome to the Chameleon Forums. Try not feeding him for a couple of days and give him a couple of long (like 30 minutes) showers a couple of times a day. Also hornworms usually make my guys go.

He could be pooping but hiding it, my cham used to poop in the organic soil of his plant, i could never find it

how old is the chameleon?
Its not all that uncommon for them to poop only weekly.
are you offering only dubia, or did you just add dubia to the menu selection?

Also make sure he has an appropriate basking temp, so he can properly digest the food items. 90-95F is good, with a proper gradient down into the 70s.

very good point
(although the actual temps that are best would depend on type of cham)
sufficient water/hydration is also necessary.

ya his set up is spot on, 98 for basking with the rest of his cage 75. hes 10 months old and yes I only feed him the dubias. Is that ok to just offer roaches? I throw him some wax worms once in a while and mealworms maybe one a month. Pooping weekly hu? My guy almost poops daily thats why i thoght it so weird.Well ill try the shower and give him some crickets for a day or 2 and see what happens. Thank you all so much once again!

I would strongly suggest offering a wide variety of prey. Something other than waxworms.
what do you gutload with?

Try taking him out and letting him walk your hands for awhile...mine usually decide this is boring and poop on my hand to get me to put the back in their cages.
