Hello everyone!
today I accidentally left the dripper on all day when I went to work (usually run it for couple hours when I wake up and when I get home) and a little pool of water formed on a ledge. My chameleon pooped in the water and I picked it up with paper towel (which might’ve smashed it a little) and noticed it wreaked! I know bad smelly poop is a bad sign and I just got him two weeks ago and haven’t had a chance to take him to the vet yet (plan on it next week). Should I be worried? I know usually there’s a film around the poop and in the past I have lightly scooped his poop up when it’s been on a dry area and it hasn’t smelled at all. Maybe the water or paper towel grab broke that seal? Any info you can lend on monitoring poop would be awesome. I plan on getting fecal tests done annually but there must be something you can keep an eye out for or etc. the urate was bright white btw. Thank you!
