i dont know why my chameleon is doing this now, be he is going all over the cage licking everything that contain water. i have a mist king so he been getting water, just that now he is licking the leaf to drink the water now. he has never done this before. should i be worried?

he is also shedding today

Well, that's typically how most chameleons drink. They lick drops of water off of leaves and vines and stuff. He might need some extra hydration to help with the shed. Misting a couple more times or for a little while longer would probably be a good idea.

Drinking water off leaves is nothing to worry about . I rarely see mine drink, but sometimes he'll drink directly from the mister. As long as the urate section of his poop is white he isn't dehydrated. He's probably just thirsty today.......
