Miss Lily
Chameleon Enthusiast
I have been reading posts on Teresa's thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/my-cage-my-new-25613/ about misting and watering a baby veiled.
My question is what is actually deemed as 'drinking'? Lily always used to lick her lips when I misted her but I never saw her drink from the leaves after the day I brought her home. Is licking their lips while being misted enough? Or should I be looking for my cham actually licking droplets off of the leaves?
Interestingly, Lily's post mortem showed that her kidneys were ok which would suggest that she had an adequate water intake, despite my worries that I didn't see her actually drink.
Also is a 14 week old baby too small for a dripper? Or should I stick with the misting twice a day until she's a bit older?
