There are several things that can indicate healthy poop. A couple of the most common bieng white urates( not yellow), and firmness(not runny).

Usually yellow/orange urates indicate dehydration (see the pic in the thread I linked to). To fix this, you need to improve your methods of hydrating your cham. Make sure you mist him for at least 2-3 long (at least 15 minutes) sessions each day. Don't stop misting him until you see him drink (that's why it can take 15 minutes). Also, provide a dripper in the cage to run for a long part of the day so that he has access to water in between misting sessions.

Be aware though that abnormal droppings can also be a result of other problems. Make sure you continue to monitor them for signs of improvement.

Yellow urates can be a sign of dehydration. Make sure you see him drinking.

Thanks. I saw this before but could not find it using the search engine. I couldn't believe how many poop threads there are.
