Ive never had a dripper fine tune enough to last 24 hours. Do you think you can rig up a electric doggy water bowl (it constanstly moves water around) or a small water fountain/fall. While these products are not good long term, they wont turn green for at least a week.

Whatever species of Cham you have, I'm sure that wherever it's native habitat is, it frequently goes for more than two days without seeing rain. Your cham will be fine without water for just two days. Just make sure that it is well hydrated before you leave.

I agree with this totally. In Madagascar they have a dry season where they do not get water for a long time. Jann B was there and the locals told her so many of the chameleons end up dying. This is over a period of time though I believe and not a matter of a couple days. I know there are days when my chameleons do NOT drink water. A lot of people say they never see their chameleons drink and I think that is because they are not drinking!!!!
