Is my chameleon dehydrated

Hi and welcome,

That‘s a beautiful chameleon. It’s hard to tell this way, but on first sight, no. No first indicator, but to be sure checking his/her fecal is the best way. The urate should be mostly white, a small bit of orange is not a problem and depends on the time in between the poops. Orange does indicate dehydration. Here’s an interesting link about it https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/chameleon-poop-101.120171/

Sounds awesome the reason they call them flap neck chameleons is because they have a flap on the back of there neck

You don’t see them that often, and they’re amazing.
