i haven't seen my lady drink

[chipop]

I haven't seen her drink in about 3 days now I'm not sure if she is drinking when im not looking or she hasnt drink anything her body looks a bit dry and also wondering how much a baby veiled about 1.5 month old will grow a week or month? and tip on how to make my Cham drink?

how are you providing water for her?

 

[Playdo]

Are you using a dripper or only hand misting?

 

[SunnyBaby]

But a water bowl somewhere that you know some water will drip on it. My guy wasn't drinking till I did this. Once he heard the dripping he found a perfect spot to drink from. I did the bowl along with the drip cup system (a paper cup with a tiny hole on the bottom to drip)

hand misting and water dripper and I have a digger that actually make some water drops on the leafs

how long? normally you would depending on where u live mist your cham anywhere between 2-4 times a day for 2-5 mins now that all depends on when your mistings are and also how hot it is in her cage. cause you wanna make sure hat at night her cage is dry.

i live in las vegas i mist around like 1 min around every 40 mins but i mist till all the stuff in the cage are soaked

how long have you had the Cham? And to be honest I never see my young chams drink, they seem to be afraid until they get older an used to you being there, the dripper is probly the best thing you can do and if anything I would say your over misting, 4 or 5 times a day is plenty because you want to make sure the viv drys completely out between misting

Look at the urates ( white/yellow part of the feces) if they are white, she is well hydrated. If they are yellow not so much. They have to be fresh though inorder to get an idea of her current status.

For the first few months my chameleon wouldn't let me watch him eat or drink.

I just saw lady drink today but she is drinking from the screen cage door from the water that is left after I mist my cage
