Confused

Does anyone actually see their cham drink from the leaves after a misting? My veiled has healthy behaviors no sunken eyes or wrinkly skin and no lethargy by all appearances he is a happy healthy cham but the only time I've ever actually witnessed him drink water is when I mist him directly or put him in the shower.

They do not like to drink in front of people. If your cham looks healthy and has nice white urates I wouldn't worry. If you see your cham slurping down water as soon as the mister comes on then I would worry about dehydration.

They're pretty secretive, I wouldn't worry about not seeing them drink

Nope, never. I have a male ambilobe panther.

Only if there is a problem such as after laying eggs. To be honest, if I see them drink I think something must be wrong. Mine get a lot of misting. I think they almost breath in their water.
