Pooped 5 wax worms

[dondi13]

So i got my cham(vieled) some wax worms and he had about 5 over two days then today about 2 days after he has had a HUGE poop and its just all waxworms... Like 4 times the size of a normal one and just a ball of worms... Any 1 had this?

Make sure your Cham has the right amount of heat at his/her basking site. Otherwise it could be parasites if I'm not mistaken.

Make sure all these are met https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

In your case pay particular attention the the temperature section if you're not already aware.

it just happens. he probably swallow them and didn't chew it right!

I am not so sure about this. Whether they swallow whole or not, the digestion process should still take place and they should not come out the way they went in!

idk maybe you can be right but i remember when i hand fed my cham he woudn't chew only one time and swallowed same with the banana. so the next day it came out in a gel form with the worm full and the banana the way he took a bite. i been keeping a eye to see if he's been chewing so far it was just the one day.

Wax worms are soft and should easily be digested by their stomach acid. However if their temperatures are wrong or they have parasites that aren't allowing them to digest properly then that could stop them.

but now i noticed he's been chewing he's meal and i haven't had that problem again so i doubt its the temp or the light. i also make sure the temp is good and the hum. idk maybe you can be right doh. it was just odd

My girl swallows her banana chunks most times and it's always digested when it comes out her pooper.

Are you sure it wasn't thrown up?
