About as fascinated with water as my 7 month old daughter.

It's not every day that you discover the source of all water. He will be famous if only he can escape from this alien's trap.

He is not fascinated... he just wants to grab this weird looking branch.

Drip > running tap. Loved my chameleons to death, and they loved their shower time. <3

So many creatures love a running or dripping tap! I had a cat dish that recycled water in a small ‘faucet’ type thing…. and the cats lined up at the sink instead, waiting for it to drip.

They know the difference. My current cats have a dripping faucet of their very own.

I wouldn’t recommend a chameleon as a beginner reptile or for a 5 year old. They have particular sometimes complicated needs like proper ventilation, specific humidity parameters, large enough cage, heat source, UV light, misting device, gut loaded insects, etc. Handling can also stress them out, which may be hard for a 5 year old to just “look and not touch” his chameleon. There is a lot of research you need to do before owning one. A lot. To give it the care it deserves. You would have to be the primary caretaker of the chameleon because 5 year olds aren’t old enough to do the research and understand what they require. I recommend googling and reading over several care sheets because each one will say something a little different but you’ll get the gist of what is best if you read several, watch several YouTube videos on how to care for them, and hop on a forum or chameleon/reptile subreddit for further reading.

Please don’t get him one. They are really hard to take care of and aren’t very excited to be held. The reason why this one is so fascinated with the water is because they can only see running water. They require a constant drip in their cage in order to drink. They also require live food to eat.

I recommend getting a Leopard Gecko. They are friendly to hold and very slow, also very easy to feed.

Regardless of your choice, please remember you need to keep your animal warm. It’s vital to their health & will stop eating if they’re cold.

The stream looks too consistent. I know chameleon's and I believe some other lizards have a problem with standing water and need to have running water (usually in the form of circulating waterfall bowls). He probably doesn't see it as water but as a branch or just a column

The sound of running water also triggers many birds "i need a bath" response. Even if they don't want to be in the sink, the sound of the sink makes mine search for the nearest dish of water to bathe in.

This is common for lizards in general in my experience. Uros I've had will always try to climb onto you if they're running around the floor, and will try to jump onto your head if you put them close enough (which ends with their ass right on your face).

Chameleons have 2 eyes that can move independent of each other. Oddly enough, they only have 1 brain cell. Collectively. Between them all. They're truly a mystical miracle of nature.

Whats up with all these titles missing words or having spelling errors. Is it bots or lazy OPs?

This op has said something about not speaking English as a native language - they post in a handful of specific enough subs that I'd say it's just non-native English

Ah I see. In that case I'd say it's probably a combination of bots, non native English speakers (I'd have to look it up, but I read an article about it and I believe native English speakers are now outnumbered by non-native English speakers), auto correct, etc. There has definitely been an increase in bots, though they'll often reuse titles, so they dont always have grammar and spelling mistakes

There's a similar thing with mice and rats where if you just keep putting one hand flat in front of the other, they'll run to the next hand and you can make a little hand-over-hand treadmill for them. It's a fun little game and keeps them from jumping down or climbing all over you.

I've occasionally had it work with lizards. Especially fast little guys like anoles and fence lizards.

You're being disingenuous. "Can't get enough of" implies thorough enjoyment or preoccupation and desire for more of something. OP anthropomorphized the creature to a silly degree and you feel compelled to run dishonest cover for some odd reason.
