Chameleon not drinking water

[charlottevschoch]

I’ve had my chameleon for about 3 months and we spray her cage a few times a day humidity and temp are perfect. But the past week she hasn’t been drinking from her dripper and i even refilled it cause i thought maybe it wasn’t fresh enough. She might drink water off leaves when i’m not looking.. any suggestions? Also: noticed she’s have her first full shedding and hasn’t been eating as much but i read that’s normal

When you say "humidity is perfect" what does that mean? A picture of her would help. If she's getting adequate water when you don't happen to be watching, she's stable, and her cage humidity is good you may not see her drink all that much. If you post some pictures we could see whether anything looks like it needs a tweak. What color are her urates? How did her shed progress? It should be quick and complete if she's hydrated.
