Any thoughts

Is it natural for a chameleon to sit in the water bowl?

Is the water bowl the only source of water you have for your chameleon?

Another question would be, why do you have a water bowl in the enclosure? Most chameleons do not drink from standing sources of water so you have to provide misting sessions and/or a dripper system.
I have also heard/read that they will defecate in standing water dishes, which isn't ideal.

You need to remove the water bowl and just mist. The water will just hold bacteria and can pose a risk if your cham falls in it.

I agree. I would only keep the water dish in their if it serves a purpose of catching water or something. They usually don't drink standing water, however if you got him from a pet store then I understand how you were confused. They usually only have standing water in their cages.

It catches the water from the little dripper

Its a small bowl that catches the water from the little dripper I empty and clean everyday
