Its not uncommon for a Parsons loose interest by this time of year, after a whole winter of being indoors.
Sometimes if you can expose them to a sunny window for even an hour during the earlier part of the day it may get him eating again.
They will usually take walking sticks, even when they refuse everything else, if you can get them.

His excretion is not good,and with white liquid.If it is astrointestinal problem?
And if the tempeture is not high enough? He drinking water every day.

If he is new,you should have a vet check him out anyway,fecal check,mouths are areas that need to be checked thoroughly. Temps sound fine. These guys are not big baskers and can quickly overheat if temps get too high. He is drinking and appears to be hydrated,which is the most important thing. I have had some that didn't eat for a couple months during the winter! Bottom line is get him to a vet for an examination.
They can be kept in the mid to upper 70'sF. Even the low 80's are okay for short periods of time as long as the chameleon is well watered.

Need more info. on your Parson's history.
Could be a mouth issue. An animal with mouth rot will lose interest in eating. Kinda like a human with a tooth ache. But we need to know your set up; how long you have had he/her; experience; I've had my big male go over a month without eating in winter. Sounds like he/she is well watered if runny poo. But that loss liquid needs to be replaced, so keep access to water available.
Has he/she eaten any plant leaves in the enclosure? and if so, ID plant.
And if this is one of those new arrivals, a period of acclimatization is needed. As in no handling, observation from afar, and let him/her get use to you slowly.

It sounds like he has a problem. You should get him to a good vet who is familiar with this species if possible. They are different in their needs, from most chameleons. The difference being that he could be dead a lot faster than most others. What country are you in? If i may ask. I may know someone you can talk to.
