i just got one too who is the same way. i seen him drink once when i got him. i read that oustalets perfer drier conditions and are more of a desert cham. never the less i keep a water dish in his cage, he goes in it, i dont know if hes drinking but no doubt he would if he was thirsty. hes a chameleon not an idiot. i also gave up on the misting cause he obviously hates it. Oustalets are kinda new to the pet trade and alot of the care info is based off panthers which are similar. but oustalets are not panthers, they are different. it appears they perfer drier conditions, they are gregarious or social, also they are the only known species to eat fruit, prob cause they live in the desert and eat it for moisture.
anyways. ive had mine for three months now. gave up misting in the first week and my little devil is growing rapidly and healthy as heck. he also bites the crap outta me.
hope this helps
Jason
