enough water - how do you know?

my female Jackson, Olive, looks like a happy ( well, she is quite the crab- lol ) healthy girl, nice fat tail, looks very hydrated - drinks when I mist her, she has a dripper too - but this AM, I moved the dripper, so the water would cascade more on the vines and leaves in her cage, and she went over and started to drink, and drink and drink - was she really that thirsty? or do they "gorge" on water from time to time ? - I feel bad if she really was that thirsty - or maybe the water and increased cascade stimulated her to drink more? I am getting ready to start some realllllly long hrs at work, and now I am going to worry that she will not get enough water - she looks fine, eats great, moves about her cage - should I not worry - any advice??
Thanks :)

not sure if this should go in health or gen/ ?? :confused:
 
How often do you mist?
SOme jax have been known to go on drinking binges, its fairly normal.

Also, if you wont be home to mist, I seriously suggest looking into an automatic mister, such as Mistking.

Some chams do well with more water dripping to stimulate them.
