Okay,
I have a 7 month female veiled chameleon. Ive had her for 5 months.
I try to handle her once every other day sometimes i miss out bc i work late and when i get home shes already asleep (timer)
I usually feed her crickets on the occasion small super worms and i dust both with calcium powder and load the crickets with food and the fluckers jelly looking stuff
Her droppings have normal consistency and has a pretty good white part
Her cage is a 19×19×24 glass cage with one screen side. I know about ventilation issues so i leave the door open when im at home
I have 2 live plants in her cage that ate on the safe list i just cant rmemeber the name
I have a daytime heat light and a blue uvb bulb and i have an automatic timer from 8 am to 8 pm at her normal basking spot the temp is at 75 which i have a thermometer at that level. The humidity is around 70. Since im gone alot i have an automatic mister that sprays every hour and when i wake up and get home i mist the cage.
At night the temp never gets below 60 bc i live in south texas. Shes near a fan bc my room is 10×11 feet and hve a fan in the center but not near and a/c vents
Her tongue muscle is probably hurting,the only thing u can do at this moment is prepare for a cup feeding ,try let her heal her tongue just to see if she can use it later on ,if the problems still exist,u might want to bring her to a vet for a check up since it might not be fully heal depending on what is the damage inside that tongue muscle,she might need to be cup feeding for a long while to get the feeders in her mouth .
