HELP - New cham today- water issue

[Samorris230]

Have a Repitbreeze mesh cage -how does anyone get the waiter to drip consistantly? it pools on mesh top - doesnt drip for 20 minutes - then pours all in for 10 seconds - and never in same spot ...

Juvi veiled cam 4 months old - cant figure out where water will be ...do I poke a hole in mesh top? I am afraid to ruin cage ...

am I missing something?

Hmmm. Mine drips through without issue. Maybe you could enlarge one of the holes with a pen and see if that helps.

Cute chameleon you have there!

Try to raise the dripper a bit, so the drop has more force to make it through the screen

ok raising it worked ...
I am assuming it is normal for their first day to not drink or eat ??
He is hiding ...hasnt basked at all ...

I took a sandwich sized Tupperware, cut a hole in the bottom, placed it upside down, and set my dripper on top for some falling force. I have also read that you can hang a piece of string from the top screen and the water will flow down it.

Yes thats normal, it may take a few days for him to settle in.
