Ok so today while I was misting my chameleons cage he seemed very thirsty. I poured a stream of water down from the top of his cage and he came to drink some and he opened his mouth. A bit after the bottom of his chin widened down and his tongue started spazzing out. It almost formed an L shape. It was very disturbing and I had no idea what to do. He did it a couple more times but now he seems fine. My only guess is that he was choking on the water. What happened?!
 
He might have aspirated some of the water. Never spray them directly down their throat or anything like that.
