I spray my chameleons ALOT but she never drinks. She used to drink before she had he babies, now she won't. I have noticed that her poop is only orange with little spots of white.

Any ideas on how I can get her to drink?
 
I would try putting her on a plant in the shower for 30mins (under supervision).

This usually triggers drinking and can be repeated daily until the urates become white again.

What is the cage humidity level? How long has she been this way (refusing to drink)? Have you changed what you spray (like her cage foliage...more or less available), how often, and how long each time? Has anything changed around her cage that might be stressing her? Is she eating normally? Other behavioral changes?

If your humidity is generally higher all the time she may not need to drink as much or as often as she used to. But, the orange urate isn't good. If a cham gets very dehydrated it can get to the point where she can't drink because she's sick or weak.

We need more detailed information to help you.
