Hydrating my chameleon

[Vidal rubio]

I own a veiled chameleon and he won't drink water I spray the water on the leaves in his Inclosure but I haven't seen him drink any of the water what should I do so he will start drinking his water?

how long are you spraying for? It can take several minutes for them to start drinking. Also get a dripper set up and run that throughout the day. Have it drip down on a branch or vine.

You will very rarely see your Cham drinking as they can hydrate from water on there skin aswell as drinking!!

i use for my cham a bottle with a small hole in the bottom, i fill it with water and i put it at the top of the cage , in this way it drips on the leaves for about an hour and the cham drinks

Veileds chams have the advantage over panthers in that they can get a lot of their water from the fruits and veggies they eat.
Get some Romain, run pieces of it under cold water, feed it to him while its still dripping wet.

I have only see my oldest drink when he was a baby, and I have NEVER seen Smidget drink.

I keep my drippers going all day, and the mistking goes off every 2 hours.

Just keep check of their urates, its the only way to tell if they are getting enough water.
