Liquid Excrement??

[Julesebules]

Hi, I have a male veiled chameleon who is a year old. He’s active and has been eating mealworms regularly and drinking. Today I went to take him out and he was on one of his branches, he stuck his leg out and released a fair amount of clear fluid along with a small runny poop. He’s only done this once before when I first got him. Should I be worried??

Mealworms are a big no for chams. Feed him crickets instead. You could also fill out the help form. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

I would take him to the vet and get a fecal test done. Runny poop can be a sign of parasites.

Also don’t feed mealworms. They have a hard exoskeleton that are hard for chams to digest and also offer no real nutrition.
