Finally Drinking!!!

[sharlaxle]

Well I was getting very worried about my female panther. She would not drink.
Dripper, mister, misting (by hand) treated water, untreated water did not matter. I even dripped water on her nose, nope she just ignored it.
Yep tried the shower method too, no go.
Well today I finally got to the point of frustration and decided that little miss priss was going to drink.
So.... I put her out in the rain. Well after looking VERY indignant ( lets just say I am NOT going to handle her anytime soon:O ) she finally gave up and licked a little bit up, well a half an hour later and shes still out there drinking.
Think I'll leave her out a little longer, at least till she stops then bring her in.
HA! I win. I think....

Did you try offering her warm water instead of cold while trying these methods? My girl is not too fond of cold water so i always try to heat it up a little in the kettle and add som,e cold water so it's not boiling.

Also, is it warm where you live? Be careful about leaving her outside in the cold too long as it may do more harm than good. And do you have her in an outdoor enclosure while doing this? I see a lot of peole here that have lost thier chameleons because they left them outside and looked away for a minute.

Iam glad she started drinking for you though it can be a real worry!
