Chameleon Tongue Problem

[Pachango]

I got my new baby Jackson Chameleon yesterday. I was trying to get him to eat today and he goth on cricket but the he didn't chew it. It looks like he swallowed it whole. A few seconds later, he looked like he was trying to throw up or like he was choking or something. His tongue was going in and out and the end of his tongue looked like it was folded over in his throat. He kept sticking it out and he fell over twice. He finally got up and tried to get another cricket but he wasn't shooting his tongue out. I out him back to let him calm down and he did it one more time then stopped. He hasn't done it since and he looks normal. Maybe he swallowed his tongue?

Yeah! It's all good. I read that babies can accidently swallow a bit of their tongue and have to gag it up. Luckily, my little guy didn't full swallow it and it was just stuck in his throat. He's eating normally again

Try not to let him be too far away from his food. They just can't handle themselves too good when they are little
