Hey all! Sorry for my absence but I have a small concern.

Good news is living in Tampa nothing happened much from hurricane Wilma. However wilma did leave us with a cold front for the past week and it has dipped into the lwoer 50's. I usually keep my cham outside, but I decided to put him in cause it seemed to be too cold. The temps where he is at are about 80 degrees and the basking is exactly 90. He hasn't pooped in the past 3.5 days and he has eaten about 12 crickets and 3 wax worms since then. His temps are slightly below average but can this account for his lack of fecal matter? Should I stop feeding him until he passes his previous meals?

Yes, being cooler slows things down. It won't hurt him to fast for a couple of days. Make sure he's drinking normally, and if he seems to drink more, let him.
