My Cham Dehydrated?

I have a month old cham (vet took a guess because we weren't sure of the actual age) who's feces is part yellow. There IS white in it, and the rest is brown but there is a trace of yellow. I know that yellow is a sign of dehydration, but what if the rest is white and brown. I don't see my cham drink at all, but maybe he just drinks when I'm not around? I'm not too sure. We have a drip system in place, and his eyes are not sunken in. We also mist about 3-4 times a day. The enclosure's temperatures are within the range they're supposed to be. The crickets are properly gut-loaded and hydrated. I'm not sure of what I should do if his feces doesn't become white. I have only had him for about 2 weeks. When we saw the vet the day after we got him, he said that he was the healthiest cham he has seen in a really long time. And that we were doing everything right. I'm just worried about him...
