All food safe items we used in his cage. the stain is safe for pregnent women, so i think it should be ok. I have a vet appt. tomorrow in the AM. He moves around well, just doesn't use his tongue??? Also, the top is screen, not glass. And I do have a UVB light and a 100w reptile heat lamp...

I checked that site. No recommendations for vets in my area or in my state.

Anyone know of a good vet that knows about Chameleons in the Bronx/westchester area? I have a Jackson Chameleon that has not used his tongue to catch a food item since I got him. Been about 4 weeks. He is 6 to 8 months old. Here is my other thread...

In his new home... Took longer to build it than I thought, but came out great!

I have had him out in the sun. Not 30 min a day, but twice when cleaning his tank for a few hours.

??? Sorry... :confused: I don't understan your responce.

UPDATE... Well, wish there was one... He is still not using his tongue. Gutloading and dusting food items with Calicum and Vitamin A. No change... Get's a lot of water. I watch him drink every morning, so he is not dehydrated. any other ideas, or is it too soon for a change? Have him about 3...

I would also like to know as I have the same issue with a new (to me) Jackson. Here is my post on the subject... https://www.chameleonforums.com/need-help-jackson-chameleon-can-not-use-tongue-66964/

I will feed earlier. I would feed first thing in the morning if he ate on his own. I ordered supplements and vitamins as stated. Also a fogger. I am also going to build a new big terrarium this weekend for him. Here he is this morning.

Other than moon light, "from the moon" yes. All lights are off. I can't get in touch with the vendor. Their voice mail will not accept messages, and both their websites are down. No email. Contact us form is not working. Anyone know them? http://junglejewelsreptiles.com/ http://beegerboxes.com/

He does sleep a lot, but is up at night. Maybe the vendor had him on a reverse cycle? I just fed him two more crickets. did not want a third, but ate the first 2 quick. He is still green, not black as I have read they get when they are under stress.

I understand everyone’s concern about gut loading and supplements, but what I think everyone is missing is I only have him for about 50 hours. The issue has been from the first second I got him home. I don’t think he knows how to use his tongue or he never had to with the vendor I got him from...

He looks fine. Just hanging out. Sleeps alot. I will try and feed him again in a bit, but i have a feeling something is wrong with his tongue. It's like all he knows is to go after the crickets and try to bite them. Other than that, he is in great shape, but this is a big issue.

Added "How To Ask For Help" info in original post as requested.

Was any one at the reptile show in the county center this past Sunday. I need the contact info of a vendor. They were in the back right and were selling lizards and cameleons. Also had large wooden hand made (i think) terrariums for sale. Area was manned by two women (One short blond around...

Just a fine mist on his tongue. Not anywhere near enough to drown him. I have also sprayed the branches so it drips, but have not seen him drink that way either. Any other suggestions?

Picture...

It's not a baby. He is around 6". Horns are all 3/4 to 1" long. I will post a picture. I just fed him 2 super worms and 2 crickets with a tweezer. I sprayed him once with a water bottle, and when he opened his mouth i touched his mouth with a food item. he ate it up. I also sprayed a small...
