White poop?

[Zion Foster]

My 7-8 month year old veiled chameleons poop is all white with some orange in it, I dont know if it's good or bad, what can you tell me? His diet is crickets, feeding him 10-15 a day.

If any orange or yellow possibly slight dehydration otherwise I don't know. Maybe @Brodybreaux25 can help?

that is a urate sack... its basically their pee

So not a big deal then?

Nope... It is normal to have a wee bit of yellow or orange at the end of all the white. It is when it is more yellow orange then white that you have to be concerned about dehydration.

Oh, okay, thank you so much

Everytime they poop they drop urates, they don't pee liquid like us.

All white is good. yellow doesn't necessarily mean dehydration, only when the entire urate is uniformly yellow/orange. If the end is chalky white and the part close to the poop is yellow, it's fine. That happens when they don't poop for a few days.

Thank you for reminding me of that I always forget that seeing a little orange yellow color at the tip tends to mean that havent gone for a few days.

IME older chameleons seem to go less too. Maybe it's just because I only feed mine 2-3x a week with usually larger feeders.

I could set my clock by Beman's morning poop lol.

Well, at least it makes collecting fecal samples easier. Mine probably go when I'm not around, but the CuC takes care of them too fast to find.

Cham keeping takes you to some odd places!

Did you ever think you’d be on the internet somewhere trading pics/articles of lizard poop and screaming to a group of total strangers how happy you are that it looks normal?
