About to panic! Regurgitated water after drinking

[Tinydino]

tonight an hour before lights out, she had a big drink.
She was then climbing down her vine towards me.
She made a noise. I look and she is a slobbery mess!!!
I snapped a quick picture. Then wiped up her face.
She seemed completely fine afterwards.
No noise with her breathing.
No upset colour.
This is what came up. And this is her 30 seconds later.
She is 6.5 months old.
Has t5ho 24" linear uvb 10.0 (3 months old)
65 watt flood for heat.
Gets Calcium without D3 everytime she eats.
Reptivite with d3 2x a month
Humidity stays low during the day. 30% at her basking. And ambient is around 40%
Nightime fluctuates with misting. But I always make sure to see a spike into the 90s.
I have a small fan that runs on low 24/7 for air flow from outside her enclosure (just enough air movement to see slight movement on the leaves closest to the fan)
She eats a decent variety.
But her staples are crickets and Bsfl.
Superworms as treats.
She gets silkworms and hornworms when I can get them. But hasnt had any for the last few weeks.
I'm really worried.

How was she drinking the water?

 

[Tinydino]

How was she drinking?

She was drinking drips off the mister bottle.
She reaches out with her tongue to grab them. I always offer her some an hour before lights out.
She ignores her dripper during the day.
She almost always comes running when she sees the nozzle drip
Its just a drop at a time. She takes it on her own if she wants.

Is the water going to the back of her mouth/throat or at/near the front of her mouth? This is important because a chameleon’s airway is at the front of their mouth!

I don't spray. Just let the nozzle drip for her

Does she have a laybin?

 

[Tinydino]

Does she have a laybin?

You bet. 50/50 sand and soil.
Its been in with her since 3 months old.
She has been showing her colours since the end of December.
Her receptive phase was miserable for both her and I.
She has settled now and is just starting to show a belly.
I check her bin daily for moisture so it will always hold a tunnel

sounds like your doing a great job, she probably just got an air bubble or drank too much....it happens

I really hope so.
I'm prepared to get her to the vet if need be.
But its a 2 and a half hour drive and the temps outside are -13°C without the wind chill.
We're in lockdown and I can't go innthe building with her either.

Sweetie I think she’s fine keep an eye on her would do more harm than good to take her out in that cold not good for you either...Just give her a little less water at one time and let her get her breath before you give her water again if it continues though you'll have to take her in

 

[CasqueAbove]

Yea this is odd. But if I were to guess she drank a bunch, then pointed herself down and gravity took over. I doubt they have strong muscles for this.

I already watch her like a stalker/peeping tom from across the room.

 

[cham girl]

YEP I think we all do that

agreed AND slow reactions to stop when they are full

 

[ERKleRose]

Off topic, but how far away is the UVB bulb away from her basking branch?

 

[ERKleRose]

Do you mist her cage or just let her drink off of the bottle?

 

[Tinydino]

Her uvb is about 11" away
I mist heavily before lights on and after lights off.
I also offer her a dripper during the day. Even though I have never seen her drink from it once.
Drinking from the bottle started last month.. i was using the mister bottle to water her money tree.(mostly laziness on my part) She decided the purple bottle was great. She had a drink and has come for it everytime since.

How fast do the drips drop from the mister bottle?

 

[Tinydino]

Not super fast. Maybe 1 a second.
She doesnt drink every drip. Ever 2nd or 3rd just fall.

 

[kinyonga]

That sounds slow enough.

That sounds slow enough.

Do you think she just drank too much?
I always just let her lick until she doesnt want more. Maybe I should offer her less more often?
