Please help

[Veild Cham Owner]

so I don't really know what's wrong. My chameleon yesterday wasn't really eating like he usually does and wouldn't really eat today either. I think he let let out something called a sperm plug today but I'm not really sure. He has been really grumpy and won't let me handle him, he usually does. I also think he burned himself on his crown bc he is always right underneath his light. Can u please help?

Unsure about the other issues but raise the light until it is far enough where he can't burn himself. Make sure it's still close enough for basking. Do you have a thermometer of any kind?

The first picture looks like urate to me. Try misting more it's a little more yellowish than mine.

yes i do have a thermometer, his basking spot in 85 and every other areas is about 70 i will atleast try to move it away from the spot where i think he is getting burned. I have this hose that connects to the automatic mister and he always hangs on it but it right underneath the 100 watt bulb, but that's for the advise.

at first i thought it was urate as well but he pooped twice today and both of them had white urate. I'm just not sure what it is ;'(

Sometimes I find urate with no poop atached to it. I assumed it was normal but I'm just a beginner myself so hopefully someone more knowledgeable will comment. How long have you had him. Can you take a pic of the entire enclosure?

I got him Febuary 21, so maybe 2 months?

It's kind of hard to tell because of the picture but it could be a sperm plug. When my guy releases them it's usually after pooping. He actually just pushed out a fairly big one yeserday. Nice big poop and urate, then a minute or two later the sperm plug came. It's much thinner and softer than the urate and a solid offwhiteish color. Once they've been out for a while though they dry out and get firm and darken a little. You should be able to tell the difference if you have both in front of you.
This is an old one he was trying to push out.

Yea it looks very soft, kinda like a yellow white kiwi but he is only 3months old almost 4, does it happen with all ages?
