Is this a normal poop?

Way to hot to be outside

Too hot for a panther Chameleon to be outside in Miami this time of year.

It doesn't get cooler than like 80 at night and as high as 91 during the day.

He never gets to cool off.

Feeding - He eats crickets & meal worms. About 8 in total a day. He eats in the mornings. My crickets eat cricket food (orange &green ), natural carrots, some oatmeal & cricket water (yellow)
Supplements - I dust my crickets in calcium and vitamin power about 4 times a week before feeding the Cham.
Watering - I use spray bottle in the mornings to mist the entire plant. He also has the dripping system.
Fecal Description - See picture at the begging of the forum discussion.
History - I bought it from The Chamelon Company
Current Problem - he dosent want to eat & drink his eyes dont open and he has lost weight colors are not so bright any more, he still strong but not looking healthy.
 
Miami is HOTTTTT! There is the use of Vitamin A w/ palmitate that used for 3-4 days will help w/ eye health in chameleons. This is controversial but Jim from The Chameleons Company can tell you all about it. Of course, I do not know the problem your cham. is having exactly so a vet may be your first option, just an FYI. Good Luck for the poor thing. :confused:
