Hydration question

[Steleto7]

I am a bit worried about my female chameleon. She seems to hate when I turn on my ZooMed Reptile Fogger. She looks dry to me and I'm worried she will die from dehydration. Will she go under the mist if she needs it? Sometimes I'll intentually hold the hose near her but she hates this and moves away. Any advice??

do you use a mister or dripper?

Mister (sorry should of specified)

What do her eyes look like? are they sunken in?

 

[mbondy]

What are her droppings looking like?

 

[Steleto7]

Her eyes are fine and she is acting normal and eating well. Has not shown signs of dehydration but I do not want her to end up that way. Any advice to prevent this would be greatly appreciated!

her fecal matter looks fine and is not runny

Just because you don't see her drink, doesnt mean she isnt. What did you mean by she looks dry? If her eyes look good, and her poops are good (brown and a white tip) then she is fine. They are after all lizards and have dry crinkly looking skin

her skin just doesn't look as glossy as the males in the cage but he is a fiend for water! He absolutly loves it and will follow the mist. Maybe that is just adding to my paranoya that something is wrong with her because he is so opposite. Thanks for all the help!!
