worried

im very concerned about my cham. i've been hand misting (saving up to get an automatic mister) and i am worried that he's not drinking. i've had him for a few weeks now and i have only seen him drink once from the leaves. other than that i haven't seen him drink at all. i'm concerned and wondering if there is any way to tell if he's getting enough water? also on an unrelated topic, how much food should i give my cham? i've been replacing a worm every time he eats one and i'm worried that i'm over feeding him. . . sorry for these probably obvious questions. . . the people at my pet store said totally contradicting things to what i saw online AFTER i bought my cham. i should've done more research online instead of just depending on the pet stores information. Thanks for your time and have an amazing day.
 
You can tell by the chameleons urates. It's the white part that comes out with the poop. The more orange it is, the more dehydrated your Cham is. If it's white he's hydrated!
 
You will get better (more specific) help from the forum members if you fill out the How to Ask for Help form :) https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

I can suggest using a dripper... you can buy a "Little Dripper" on Amazon (or wherever) or you can do a homemade one (I poked a small hole in a large plastic cup, fill it with ice and it melts slowly and drips for a few hours) - when I get some time... I'm going to make a nice homemade one!
