from the second they are born, I've never seen one miss. Even the first shot they'll ever take they most likely won't miss. Its pretty amazing if you ask me :]
reason i ask is that my guy (Giggitty) try's to walk up to the crickets, and when he does use his tongue, he misses. Aout of all hte times i've seen him try, he;s missed 100% of the time.... So what do u guys think
This could be a very serious problem! I am not sure but you def need to ask someone who knows alot. Go to the chameleon husbandry link at the top, then click on "health clinic" its right under general discussion.
