My cham's urate is half white/half orange. I know this is a sign of dehydration. I am looking to buy a HabbaMist (all I can afford for now). What do you guys think it means if his urate is like that? Also, what do you think about the HabbaMist? I know there is a product that is sold to put in the water to make the water less "harmful" where can I get that and the name? I have a million questions I've only had my guy for less than a month. Thanks!!

anything other than white is sign of dehydration. you may want to increased your misting freq and durations....
As far as the habba mist...What I have read on forum is that it is a piece of junk. and A fire hazzard.
Take a look at this system. Made from common hardware items...

It can also indicate over supplementation, but more likely it is indeed a lack of hydration. I suggest using a dripper, in addition to whatever misting method you currently use. id guess my chameleons get 95% of their water from drippers and the other 5% is more from feeders more than misting!

If you have very hard water or if your water has been heavily chemically treated, yes you should treat the water to remove those chemicals and some of the minerals (not because minerals are bad for the cham but because they will clog spray ends). or use distilled water.
Where I live, I add/remove nothing from the city water as it is of good quality.

my cham actually did have the rare cause for yellow/orange urates, my cham actually was oversupplemented, so dont just toss that possibility aside
