My cham just pooped for the first time in a few days. I just found she left this massive dump. Has anyone had this issue? her food intake went way down which i thought was a because of her being close to a shed(still finishing up the shed). Any feed back would be great

They sometimes go on hunger strikes even veiled, so unless it continues for more than 3-4 days I wouldn't worry about it just change up her feeders to entice her into eating. From her poop she looks a little dehydrated make sure she is getting plenty to drink.
