Should I be concerned?

This is more so a story than anything, heres what happening.
So flics been with me for three weeks now and due to a family problem that would take way too long to explain, Flic had to moveto a new house. So friday i drove all of his stuff to my dads, from my moms. It was about a 20 minute drive and i kept hime in his tupperware he came in. At the same time my aquazamp came and I installed that. Temps are the same here, humidity is up to 65 from 45. My only real concern is that he has been in the back of his cage all weekend. The temp is about 80-81 all day, but Flic staying in the back of his cage verrrry pale green and sort of yellow in the eye turrets. He hasnt come to bask at all for two days. He has eaten all of his crickets, but thats the only activity he's been up too. He just seems very different. for complete husbandry you can visit my other thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/normal-64759/ The problem from that thread fixed itself, he can climb my shirt and stuff i think he was jut a little nervous in the first place. so thats everything, should i be worried?
 
sound like he might just be a little miffed from the move give him a few days to settle in before u worry to much, if hes eating drinking and pooping than i would say u are fine.

The ambient temp seems a bit high Robbie. And also the change in location might have him a little stressed out. I would just keep an eye on him and lower the temps a bit.

Haha rarely do you get someone actually saying poop, thats funny though. And the ambient is like 75 its just the hot spot that is at 81 ish
 
I agree, I think he's a bit stressed about the move and change... You'll see he'll come around in a week or two. Just give him some time and leave him be. :)
 
More bad news, he's had a fecal half way out all day, i set up a bath and tried to get him out and he actually hissed and snapped at me, thats the first time its happened. In the past he's walked right onto my hand, but this time it was different, like hes just constipated and angry about it. so he soaked for 15 minutes and it didnt change anything, now im waiting till tomorow to see if the problem fixes itself.
 
If he tolerates it, try soaking his bum with warm water for a bit longer... Give him lots of drinking water and you can even try a steam bath. Let hot (not too hot) water run in the shower with the doors closed while him in the room, not in the shower. I've never dealt with this with my Chams but just throwing ideas out ther for you. Good luck!
 
ya if he tolerates it is really the key there, he was very agitated and i thought since it was hs first time i'd cut it short
 
Ok Its two days later and It might be a whole lot worse. The next morning the half that was out of him was gone, but i didnt see any monster #2's to account for the blockage. In two days however, he hasnt eaten anything else, so i feel like the second half is still in there. Hes too young to miss a whole bunch of meals like this. Im giving him another bath right now, nothing has dropped though, and hes only getting more agitated. I really feel bad for the guy, is there anything else i can do for him to feel better

First, you don't know for sure there's still a blockage (but I don't blame you for assuming so). If he's agitated, let him climb around all he wants. Exercise does tend to get things moving. I've found most of my chams got the urge to let go if they were put in a bright warm sunny place that was NOT in their cage. Hydrate, get him moving around, park him on a plant or something in the warmest brightest spot in the house or in an outdoor temp cage and see what happens.
 
ok I turned up the heat a little (84 for a baby is hot right?) and Shoudl I add more misting times? Also I am almost possitive he's stuffed up, not hes got some kind of amber colored goop by his vent, do you know if thats anything special? its thick but looks stuck. So idk what to do!

Maybe a picture at this point would help? Are you giving baths daily? Keeping him moving around will help as well.
