    Kailie, the tongueless chameleon

    The tongue is stored on the hyoid spike/horn…so even when the tongue is lost, there is still the spike to stick out….you can see the part of the tongue/spike in the photo in this site… http://reptilis.net/lacertilia/chamaeleonidae/tongue.html One more…...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    I wanted to be able to hibernate/brumate them properly back then but I couldn’t find a way to do it in my house safely. I’m reasonably sure I didn’t get eggs the third season because I couldn’t cool them for the winter months at that time.

    As @Sonny13 said, the tongue is retracted completely in an opening near the front of the mouth, on the floor of the mouth…so he hopefully isn’t missing his tongue. You can see just the tip of the tongue peeking out of the hole in this photo…...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Paralyzed, Not eating, sunken eyes, throwing up

    I’m not a vet and can only tell you what I think…please be aware of that. He needs to see a good chameleon vet asap IMHO. His vent looks like there is some issue with it…maybe infection. Your husbandry needs some changes asap…especially supplements, gutloading, feeding. More on that later if...
