Water

[Cait0420]

I spray with one of those pump sprayers 3-4 times daily for 5-7 mins. My chams start drinking right away and will usually drink the whole time I'm spraying. Should I keep spraying till they're done drinking? They're urates are white, but I was just wondering if they are wanting even more water?

I'd keep spraying. If they are drinking, keep spraying. Just my opinion. You don't HAVE to, due to the good looking urates, but I would. I use to have a pump mister and after a month or so of spraying to chameleons, it got tedious. Especially when I would want to leave for the day.

Ok thank you for the response. That's kinda what I figured but just wasn't sure if they would keep drinking even if not that thirsty

I keep spraying the water from above, onto their heads and stop when I see their mouth is no longer moving.
Sometimes, takes a whole quart of water!!

If they are not thirsty they won't drink very long. When they've had enough they tend to turn away from the water. Some chams drink more slowly than others. They have small stomachs for their size, so once they are full they tend to tip their heads straight up and turn away.
