Never see her drink?

[ChameleonFan1989]

Hope someone can give me a opinion. My baby Cham hardly ever drinks, seen her drink once from the dripper and once from misting.

Misted her once already heavily for about 5 mins and during those 5 minutes she didn't drink. Her eyes aren't sunken in but her poo was very light orange with some white in it.

She can't be showerd as she's to small.

Often times you wont see your chams drink. I have had mine for about 5 months and I have only seen him drink once. If you think she is a bit deydrated, put her in the shower.

Showers are okay no matter her size. Just be carefull.

Just keep checking her poop, if it gets more orange then you know that she isnt drinking enough. If she isnt drinking then you may have to give her a shower

If I had a dollar for every time I've had this same worry.. Just make sure the urate stays more white than orange, and that her eyes aren't sunken... Some chams are secret drinkers (Like my Stanley) but if the evidence is in the poo then don't worry about actually seeing it... Try a WARM misting every morning... Stan will actually climb into the mist to drink, and then I never see him drink after that but his urate.... WHITE

I wanted to ask, the third time I misted her today, I caught her on the head by accident and had a blob of water near her eye and I watched her close her eye and kinda bulged it and kept doing that until it went into her mouth? Is that normal behaviour? This is my first cham so not 100% about how they behave and I have this thing with eyeballs that me feel blah! LOL

Normal... She was cleaning her eyes out... Its how they get dirt and crud out of their eyes... Nothing to worry about

my pygmies will do this also with their mists. I actually bounce the mist off the glass so it gives them a little on their faces and they roll their eyes around to clear them.

Also a good reason for regular showers. They clean their eyes out. Their eyes are very important to them. So I try to shower mine often.
