My male chameleon hasn't pooped for 1-1 1/2 weeks. He never eats his crickets so I bought him meal worms and he loves them. That's all he ever eats. Are they bad for him? Do they cause impactions? Thanks for any help!
 
Agreed, impaction could be the cause. Keep him well hydrated, mist with warm water. Stop feeding meal worms and switch to superworms or some other feeder like crickets or roaches. You might also be feeding him too much.
 
Definitely the worms. If he's a Veiled try feeding him fruits or veggies. I would also stay away from the roaches; it has been my experience that they are also harder to digest.
