No, his mouth and gum look healthy white/pinkish with no signs of any rot or wounds. His tongue have been like this for a little more than a year or so. He didnt have this problem when he was a baby, he could shoot his tongue with no problems. The issues started after 2-3 months in my care.

Ok, I see what you mean. Before i got the chameleon i read alot of caresheet and asked around and got the notion that the cage would be adequate. Now i simply dont have enough funds or space to get a larger cage. What can I do?
The cage is a Exo-terra terrarium 24” x 18” x 36”.
There's 3 Lights (Normal visual light, UVB light, and heat+uvb light),
Humidity: 60-70%, spiking to 80% during night.
Temperature: 70F (coolest spot), 85-90F (basking spot)
The cage has currently 2 wooden branches, with 3 plastic branches...
Hi,
So my male, 9 month old veiled chameleon has for a whole month now, been clawing at his cage. He always does the same routine for hours: he starts clawing at the screen roof, then he goes down to the floor and claws at the glass, then e climbs up while he claws at the glass and starts...
Hi,
I just noticed something on my veiled chameleon. He has black things (look like some kind of scraps of something) all over his body. They are on his face, body, legs, inner thighs, and tail. He shedded about 2 weeks ago. I wonder if its dead skin or something more serious?
Thanks for your...
Hi!
My Chameleon has become very stressed recently, and it has now become quite alarming since he wont even eat his food. He wiggles when he sees any kind of movement in the room. He flinches and hides, every time i open the cage door to mist, pick up poo or feed him. Once a day i always find...
Hahahaha the majority of people in Europe keep their chams in Glass enclosures with no problems so let the glass nazis come :)
Great! What to look for if you want to know if he has a calcium defiency?
Thank you! I hope so too :)
Thank you, I just ordered 100 dubias to get the feeding going, I just want him to be well and enjoy under my care.

Thank you guys for all your input. I have now bought a reptiglo 5.0 UVB light for extra UVB, but he still basks under the heatlight most of the day. The previous owner told me to feed him every other day 4-5 feeders and thats why i have been giving him less, i will feed him more and try to...
How weird, i dust the feeders every meal, and feed him 3 times a week. Maybe i should feed him more then? I feed him 4-5 dubia roaches, 3 times a week.
He is still getting stuck with his tongue, he tries endlessy and the gives up. I hope its not because i fed him to large crickets.
What else could it be than just, damage in the tongue?
He is trying to hit the target, but then gives up when he realizes the tongue wont reach the target as it gets stuck all the time, then he nears the feeder and grab it with his mouth.
Last month I feed him crickets close to every day, and now i feed him dubias 3 times a week. I light dust every time with Calcium Without D3. And every two weeks i dust with a multivitamin containing Vit D3. I gutload the feeders with carrots and oats and the ocassionally romaine lettuce. I...
Hi,
My 6 month old chameleon is having trouble with his tongue. I always cup feed him and have been doing this even before this problem surfaced.
So the problem is when he extends his tongue it seems as it gets stuck mid-air and he has to retract it again. He tries over and over and it still...
