I don't think any chameleon has a particularly "sticky" tongue. I'm pretty sure it works like a suction cup. I don't know what could be wrong with your chameleon, but maybe this will point you in the right direction? D:

the cage is 24 x 24 x 36 inch Aluminum Screen Cage.Most of the time he is outside even at night.i only bring him inside if it's too hot.i also have a mister on from 12-5pm.i don't have any live plant in the cage.the cage is located under a palm tree next to a fence.He is a jackson chameleon.Right now i have to feed him because he can't catch his own meal.i'm feeding him about 10 crickets a day and 1 king mealworm a week.i do see him drink water when the mister is on.right now i'm not dusting my crickets.his colors are bright green he is healthy besides that his tongue dosn't work.
