Anyone got any tips on dropper training?

He just looks at me like im nuts. Doesnt like sprayed. Doesnt like it dripped in front of him. Doesnt like it dripped on his nose. Next trick it to try to get him to hand feed a cricket and sneek in while hes chewing :)
 
leave it in his cage it might scare him as its new and odd but they will warm up to it chameleons can be shy and its sometimes nearly impossible to see them drinking or eating the only way to tell if their eating and hydrated is their scat and urates. So just give him some privacy he might not be so much as scared of the dripper as he is scared of you.
 
Try getting the dripper set up then soak the cage with the mister. Get everything in the cage dripping. Use like a quart of water.Then leave. Sometimes it takes a lot of water to convince them it's okay to drink and once they get past that, the continued drips seem a bit more acceptable.
