Well i have had this guy in my posession for 3 days. The obvious is the urate color. I have given him 3 showers since , along with a dripper that dripps the whole time the lights are on and mistings.
Hydration addressed, whats your thought on why the poop is runny/wet. I have isolated this Cham away from my other Chams just to make sure not to cross-contaminate.
