i'm a little worried about him he's refusing to drink i mist his cage 6 times a day .well he used to just come right up to the nozzle and drink no problem...i have been feeding him a lot of horneworms lately there pretty juicy, but he still not drinking .i put him in the shower 2 days ago hoping it would stim his drinking but it didnt .his poop is largeand solid..but his pee sacks small and yellowish orage for the past week or two!!!.. and since he refuses to drink i've been feeding him more hornworms,what i've tried for two todays was when he'd eat the worms i'd carfully squirt water near him mouth as he ate them, he probable got a few drops in. so i got the syring with no needle, but no luck. he just looks at me "like what are u doing silly, i'm not gonna drink from that!!!good try though!!!!"

As much as it pains me to say it, you should probably fill in the form.

Copy it, paste it into a text file and add your responses. Save that in case you are ever asked for it again. Then copy and paste it into a reply here.

That said, have you tried giving him water from a syringe (no needle)? When my first chameleon was having drinking issues, I kept a loaded syringe on the top of the cage. Whenever I saw him on the cage wall I grabbed it and pushed water to him. He drank. It became a regular thing. His urate returned to white. It was actually sort of a nice, him and me time.

It's worth a try.

Get your basking temps way down-no higher than 90-that should help. If he is eating I would not stress too much-some Veileds are just very closet drinkers.

ok ill do that i the morning with the temp... but he has never never had a problem drinking in front of me...before as soon as he saw that i had the spray bottle he'd rush right down licking his lips telling me he wanted it... now he ignores any atempt, i would mist for 10 min in morning and noon!!!!!!!!!!
