Baby chameleon won't drink

Hi, I have a chameleon that is around 3 months old, but he doesnt seem to drink water, his urates have a white part but with yellow-orangish liquid, which as I read, is dehydration.
I have a Little Dripper that drips all day, I also mist 2 times a day.
Ive tried giving him water in a bowl, with a syringe, with a spray bottle, I also placed the dripper in an área hes always around so he can se the drops easily, still, he doesnt even seem to recognize the water.
Please help, how can I get him to drink?
I uploaded a photo of the hábitat.

Chameleons are shy drinkers. I've only seen mine drink once in the last month. Keep the dripper going and increase misting to 3-4 times and mist for 1-2 minutes. This should stimulate them to drink.

You don't have to see the chameleon drink to know its hydrating. Just monitor its droppings and make sure the urate is consistently white/off white.
