Ok...so my Colin isn't the brightest chameleon in the world....
His urates are white, and have been for the last few weeks (he v. was dehydrated when I got him) and he has a dripper and is misted 2-3 times a day...yet he is sitting with his mouth open near the wet leaves....
I'm fairly sure he's not mouth breathing, he's not doing the mouth opening often enough for it to be a resp infection.
This evening I've misted him for a good 10 mins, and had the dripper going, and even put the spray onto more of a jet and he had his face in it and was drinking from it...
Yet he is STILL sitting with his mouth open, and seems unable to comprehend drinking the drops from the leaves?
Any ideas?
Obv. if it does continue he'll be going to the vet on suspicion of a respiratory infection, but at the moment, it doesnt look as though it is an infection.
