Doctor visit for sure. Could be a variety of things like an eye problem or a tounge problem I know that when chams miss their prey its not good.

Try giving him extra water, he could be dehydrated. What is your supplementation schedule? That could also be a factor. You dont want to go spending $100+ for something that can be fixed on your own.
