chameleon drinking water

[darrylmch]

i'm just wondering, should a 3 month old veiled be drinking alot of water?? i never seem to see him drinking from the dripper, i've seen him shoot his tongue at the droplets on leaves but not alot, he eats plenty locusts/crickets out my hands but doesn't seem to drink alot (well not that i see anyway)

Sometimes the baby veiled chams will drink when u not around,try misting around him with lukewarm water maybe u can get some action when he is drinking.

thanks, i have just bought a misting system so hopefully that will help alot for him drinking, also should i be tryin to handle him for a couple minutes a week for him to get used to be handling or should i leave him be for a few weeks? i have handle him 2 or 3 times for no more than a minute

If u really wana handle him,I will suggest use a stick,since he is still a baby,u dont want him to be scared with a giant human hand unless he is a very friendly cham since every chams has their own different personality,and soon u will find out ur cham favorite move too,be observed then proceed,no force,be patience since he is not leaving anywhere soon.

Just to be sure he is a male,when u get a chance,u can take a look on his hind feet to see if u can see a bump(spur) ,regardless what sex is,urs are very nice looking.

Pleasure will be all mine
To answer ur questions,I usually wake up at 7 ,prep all the food for all my pets,at 8 lights are on ,start misting then lightly dust their feeders of the day n while I feeding them I spot clean n check all the poops just to make sure they all look great n healthy.
