• Supplements - Repticalcium no d3 every feeding accept when he gets his vitamins or calcium with D3. Every Other Saturday I dust with calcium with D3 (Zoo med Reptivite)
• Watering - I have a large dripper dripping onto his leaves all day and I mist 2-3 times a day I don't see him drink but his urge is mostly white with a little yellow.
• Fecal Description - Pretty long squishy poop irate has some yellow
• History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.

Completely fine. No different from the little gray spacers between his vertical stripes!

I'm not a veiled keeper but it doesn't look to me like anything to worry about at all.

Your husbandry appears good but your UVB tube appears to be right at the back behind the heat lamp. Ideally this would be for the full width of enclosure and placed around mid point between front and back. This gives the best coverage and shade provided by plants if the little guy needs it.

As it's only a 1 foot tube, you may want to consider either a better fixture and or a 10% tube.

If you do change it, the Arcadia T5HO units are excellent!

Thank you I will get a longer light fixture and the 10% bulb thank you!

there is nothing to be worried about, i would change the uvb to 10.0 arcadia and like @SharpShooter mentioned i would make the bulb the width of the cage, humidity levels should be around 50 and 60, 70 is a little high but other than that you're doing a great job!!
