Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Try not to but he likes to climb on our hands and explore the room
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? Gut-loaded crickets, mealworms, horned worms, we feed him 5 - 7 crickets and a few other worms. 4 crickets in the morning and 4 at night

Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Has been normal with good urate for a week. Today I noticed a tiny bit of blood came out AFTER he pooped. Thought that was unusual.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. Bought from a reputable breeder, never been outside.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Screen, pretty sure 18 x 18 x 30? Not sure but it was 120$ for the "medium" size.
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? Bought ceramic UVB from breeder/reptile store owner. Also bought a reptile (tube) light, 60W
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Daytime temp is 80 -85, nighttime 72-75. Two thermometers.
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? 50 + during the day, 40 at night. I have a cool mist humidifier and a heater. I use a hygrometer to measure the humidity.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? No plants, except for the ones outside of his tank. I water them daily to keep the humidity a little higher.
At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? It's about 3 feet off the floor on a table.
Location - Where are you geographically located? Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I found some threads on bloody poop, I really hope it isn't a parasite, and hoping he just had too big a poop or something.....The poop itself was normal, dark and hard with a white urate, some red stuff just came out with a clearish liquid after he had finished doing his business. Should I take him to the vet asap??
