Not normal at all! you need to get him drinking normally add a dripper to the top of the cage and get a fecal tested with the vet.

Totally normal looking. Just note parasites can not be seen so it is still always a good idea to get a fecal done to ensure there is nothing hidden that could become a future issue.
Just keep in mind parasites can come in on insects you feed off after in your care too. But all looks well with that sample. Nothing at all I would stop and be concerned over. When they are runny then that is a sign something is off.No fecal test yet. He's captive bred from a well known breeder sohe's g2g. I do have an exotic vet right down the street if need be.

I have a dripper set up but he doesn’t seem to like it. I also have a mister.
Besides the orange color does it look like there is something really bad going on? I’m worried

Could it be something with the UVB light? I didn’t realize that mine wasn’t making UVB anymore so I’m switching it out but could that cause this issue?

I would post your own thread so you can receive full feedback. Need to look at specific husbandry. Hydration is very specific for how you want to provide it. It could be your misting sessions are not long enough to trigger a drinking response. But the risk with you syringe training him is that he will become dependent on this method and you. But the concern I see is the red tint and the amount of mucous. If it has an odor that is another sign of a parasite issue. The mucous is as well. A fecal test would be a first step with a vet.
