Two questions I really need answered....

[NickyChameleon]

1) how often do chameleons poop(veiled specifically)
2) how do I get them to drink? I've had him for a week and I've only seen him lick is chops a few times and he bit a few leaves too.

When they are babies they go daily.
I use Little Dripper and it drips water every second. I have that running the 12 hours a day. Also I mist Vinny's real and fake plants and vines until they are dripping with water about 5 times a day for about 30 seconds.

That's what worries me. I can't find droppings.

How many days has it been since he went?

I don't know. I got him last Friday and have yet to find his excrements.

That's what I thought. Is the urate ok though?

Our little guy always comes to the glass and is super excited to come out with us. Inevitably the temperature drop enables him to deficate on whomever has him. There's never any doubt he's eating and drinking, yet we haven't noticed him drinking in the 3 months we have had him.

The more intense the yellow, the more dehydrated your chameleon is.

 

[bobcochran]

I would say the greater percentage of ORANGE the more dehydrated he is. If the urate is mostly white
With a little yellow that's fine.

ah white and a yellow coloure normal if its more then 30 % yellow id up the water get a bigger dripper maybe give him a few days to regulate to mister or whatever
