Help! Fischers doesnt use tounge to eat.

[VeiledOwner87]

im sitting here on the computer, glairing at my fischers, and i seen him spot a cricket. he sneaks up behind it and tries to bite it, not use his tounge. i want to declair that nothing is wrong with his toung, because the first two times ive seen him eat, he shot his tounge out and it was properly working. anyways. he was just stalking his prey, and the cricket got away. is this normal? he is a realy realy weird fischers. i assume this is how he snaged his silkworm yesterday.

I think if you see him failing to use his tongue repeatedly, that's a problem.

Based on his condition in the photos from your previous thread, I suspect this is an indication that he is continuing to go down hill. How many times a day are you misting him and for how long each time? How much is he eating every day? Also, it sounds like he is not located in a particularly low traffic area if you are watching him as you sit on your computer. He needs privacy and plenty of food and water to acclimate properly.

he roams his cage freely chris, a very active but stange chameleon. i have a dripper on all day with electroyltes as an additive. i also mist about 3 -4 times a day, and it is a relative ambient humidity of 60-70% he eats about 3-5 crickets a day, yesterday he ate a silk worm, his eyes are full, hes not sluggish nor is he weak. it is a low traffic environment, he is in my bedroom with all my other animals. no one comes in here but me. i dont provoak him or interact with him unless im feeding or misting.
