"You can buy the Little Dripper or you can make a homemade dripper. Take a plastic cup or bowl and poke a very small holes in the bottom. As adults you can use a plastic milk jug. Fill it with warm water and make sure it drips very slowly over a vine with leaves so your little guy can drink from the leaves. Also mist for a pretty long time. It takes awhile for them to start drinking. I would mist 3 times a day for 3 minutes or so at first. Just make sure the cage dries out real good between each misting. As adults I mist twice a day for about 5 minutes and mine also drink water from a dropper. You will need drainage for your cage. Maybe some holes in the bottom with a bucket or pan sitting under it to catch the water"

Thank you kinyonga ,you have been nicer than anyone I will for sure go get the proper stuff I need tomorrow again thank you so much. I will the stuff out to remember

I don't want to see your chameleon die. It needs the proper heat now so it will be warm and it needs water given to it properly Do not spray it towards it's mouth...mist it from above with a very fine mist.

The reason I suggest to take it back is as a new chameleon keeper it is much easier to take care of a chameleon that is healthy from the start. Breeders often provide much better care than pet stores. If it's been chronically dehydrated most its life it will likely have problems later down the road. If you have only had it one day the cage setup would not be the issue but could have made it worse.

Do you think I should take it back? Or should I go somewhere else to get one ?

Yes, the pet store sold you a sick animal. I'm sorry.
