I hurt my veilds tongue!

I was messing with a small solor panel with a tiny half inch long motor on it with my bird Sky on me and she bit it and I wanted to know if it still worked after she bit it so I stupidly without thinking put it in the chameleon cage under the heat lamp to see and it worked but the chameleon shot at it. This is the worst part, I was just thinking a few minutes before that if she somehow got my finger while handfeeding I would let her tongue bring it to her mouth so she would not get hurt but for some reason because I am so stupid, I yanked the motor away from her before I even thought of anything else.She was not able to shoot her tongue right to get food so I had to bring the food to her mouth (she even got my finger once, payback) and a few hours later I think she is fine but I am not sure.For the first hour she could not shoot her tongue last 2". I think her tongue can go at full capacity now but I won't make her use it for a week and just bring the food right up to her mouth so she can heal. I need some feedback because I don't know if her tongue is okay.If you guys want I can take a pic of her tongue.:(
 
If she is willing to use it, it is most likely ok. It is fine if you want to baby her and make sure she has time for her tongue to heal. All of us like to baby anyone with a problem. Let us know how she is doing. Just keep an eye on her for a few days.
 
I wanted to test her tongue a few minutes ago and it is working fie so I don't think the close handfeeding will be nessasary. I can not believe I made such a mistake though.
