Oh my goodness... Well I'm not really sure there is any way to do this... maybe contact a vet? Sorry, hope you get it off...

Can you try showering your cham? Band-aids come off humans in the shower without any pulling, so maybe that would work?

That's a really good idea. Maybe even mist him real good (if he's ok with that, mine hates to be misted) and see if that helps?

That explains why there is always band aids in the pool.

exactly right. I'm not sure there's enough chlorine to kill it all. There are always lots of kids in my apartment pool and I always think "yellow water" I just can't do it!

For future reference, NOTHING sticky in your chams home. This was instilled in me early on by some experienced owners. No tape holding things in place, no sticky!
I got one for yea. The sticky price tags on the potted plants. You removed the price tag, and el chameleon decides to wrap its tail right where the label was....

I think that'd be referred to as a freak accident, which in this case seems to apply lol. I was told a Cham could theoretically get their tongue stuck to something sticky, which would be bad in any case.

Try the shower then.

Mineral oil will disolve the adhesive,but may not be safe. Maybe try coconut oil

If @OldChamKeeper says un-glue or shower, I'd try either of those.
