I got 2xmale and 2x female veils babies 7 weeks ago now they are bout eight to ten inches from tail tip to nose one pair are in a esu large fresh air habitat the other two are in there own esu small fresh air going into their own large fresh air next week. all their lives since i got them as babies their stool was white clumpy solid mass is how i would discribe it , BUT in the past two weeks its more s liquid ,like a white thick liquid and some clear watery liquid . all four of them have this "change" in their bowel movement.
they are given crickets with vitamins rotating with t-rex chameleon dust and zoomed reptivite suppliment. I just got some repti-cal with i started them on this week.
I been looking on the internet and some say its normal and others indicate a parasite etc.
does anyone have any ideas as to what ,why it is as i would appreciate the info.

The best way to find out if everything is OK or if your chams may have a parasitic infection is to take stool samples from each cham to the vets for a test.

I have always found my yemen stools to be 75% brown and torpedo shape ish with 25% white same shape on the end of the stool, moist but not overly dry or wet.

My panther chams have the same shape stool as the yemens maybe not as well shaped, but they have more of a mucous type coating which I understand to be normal.

Forgot to mention a change in diet may result in a temporary change in stool, not sure but too much rich over supplementation may have the same result. Good luck let us know what happens.
