So usually the poop should not be more then 50% orange anything more then that could be a sign of dehydration.. It might be a bad poop so wait for a other one if it's still that orange color then your cham is dehydrated which should not be too hard to change. as for the urine chameleons do not release a liquid ruine but produce a so called “urate”, which consist of the salts of uric acid. When looking at the creamy white/ beige part of the poop it should not be dry but a creamy mass! Hoped this helped :)
 
Fecal and urate have a normal appearance. Although visual inspection does not mean healthy as in there could be a parasite issue but this is not visible to the eye. The only way you would know if the cham is clear of parasites is to have a fresh fecal sample tested by a vet.
