Lots of chams won't drink in front of someone. some will wait a few minutes before drinking, after misting or dripping. Just watch his poops. make sure there is no orange coloring, where it should be white. as long as it is white, he is allright (rhymes).

does she have privacy? they often prefer to drink when they believe no one is looking.
how fast does the dripper drip? something a fast rate of drip catches more attention than a slow drip
consider offering juicy feeders, like small silkworms, small butterworms, baby hornworms, more small crickets gutloaded with veggies and fruits (a greater range than you have now) and fewer flies.
use the calcium without D3 lightly on every cricket, most fruit flies. calcium once every couple of week is insufficient.

She defiantly has her privacy.
The dripper right now is dripping enough to make a stream down the leafs. I currently cant find any near by places that sell all the different worms small enough. STILL LOOKING THOUGH! I would order them online but i got some room mates that kinda just open any box they see... ill try putting more good stuff in with the crickets, sadly their petco crickets that die the next day! And shes been on a fruit fly strike! It's all she will eat! I was told to try and get her to eat as many as I can if that was the case. I'll start dusting them every day. Thanks

im actually going through the same thing. what ive been doing is taking a feeder and let the dripper drip on it then give it to my chameleon. he eats the feeder and also gets water. another thing that ive been doing is spraying my chameleon for a longer time. if your chameleon will let you, spray him so water droplets will form on his head and go down by his mouth. i find my chameleon actually enjoys this and he licks his lips, getting water also.
