    Did anyone here noticed that their chameleon prefer drinking and getting mist by warm water? i just noticed that mine does. When i sprinkle them cold water, they kind of want to go away and doesn't drink as much. But when i used warm water, they even came close to the sprayer. And drinks alot!
    ...just an observation.

    My Cham loves cold water. In fact, i've tried giving him room temp water via misting and a dripper and he absolutely refuses to drink. See, i raised him on the 'ice cube technique' (where you put an ice cube ontop of the enclosure, and as the ice melts, the Cham drinks the water as it drips down). I heard the technique was bad, so i tried misting and the dripper, but had to switch back because my Cham refused to drink after several weeks.

    the drinking can be different to the misting i believe because i dont think they like being sprayed with cold water drinking it can be fine because if you think of morning dew on the leaves etc in the wild...
