ive noticed that my chameleon never laps water from her leaves, she only shoots her tounge out to catch droplets. and often times she misses. I mist her cage 3-4 times a day for 3 minutes at a time and run a dripper for at least 6 hours during the day. ive noticed her urates getting a bit of yellow in them recently. ive tried eye droppers and syringes to give her water but she only shoots her tounge out and gets it stuck then goes away to sulk. i wish i could have her gently lap it so she wont hurt her tounge on anything. ive even put her in the shower but that only lead to disaster.
do any of you guys have chameleons with this problem? if so, what are some other methods i could use to encourage lapping other than shooting. ive had her for almost 8 months and if it makes any difference, i bought her at a petsmart as a baby where she had to shoot water from a still dish.
