Now I’m really getting nervous. (Still haven’t seen a poo)

[Lucas00-]

It’s been about another week and I still have not been able to see another poo. I’m going to take the plants out tomorrow to make sure but usually there would be one or two visible somewhere in the enclosure. I’ve fed him hornworms three times in the last week hoping the hydration would help him out. He is not refusing food or acting lethargic, his eyes are both open as well. Also I got to looking at his eyes once he got in his sleeping spot and thought his eye looked kind of odd. What do you guys think? I live so far from any exotic pet vets but it is doable, I’m about to make an appointment for him because I’m worried.

Do you have a substrate in your cage? If so, what is it? Artificial plants? What insects have you been feeding your chameleon? What colour was the urate in the last poop?

Zero substrate and strictly live plants in the enclosure. I’ve been feeding a mix of dubia roaches, bsfl, super worms and in the last week I got some hornworms for him. The last poo he had was mostly white with the very end of the urste was a tiny bit orange, and the poo itself was really hard. The last two poos of his were huge compared to any other one he has had before, and one of them looked rough almost like possibly bug parts or something? It was odd looking and I haven’t seen another in a few weeks now almost.

What’s the basking temperature?

What’s the basking temperature?

Right around 85ish, comfortable enough for my had to sit under it and not be too warm for the touch.

It’s also winter and his ambient temperatures have changed a lot since it got cooler here, I ordered some higher waat heating bulbs to try out as well
