Sick chameleon, please help, can’t get into vet until tomorrow now

[Sonny13]

Oh my gosh guys, he has been opening his mouth all day and I haven’t been able to figure out why. Well my daughter just got home and asked me why he has no tongue anymore. It looks like he’s swallowed it ?!? This poor guy! Off to the vet again tomorrow, unless anyone here knows some kind of trick or how this can even happen *face slap*

when they open their mouth completely the tongue gets retracted completely and you'll only see a small bulge with a opening. This is probably what you see.

As @Sonny13 said, the tongue is retracted completely in an opening near the front of the mouth, on the floor of the mouth…so he hopefully isn’t missing his tongue.

You can see just the tip of the tongue peeking out of the hole in this photo….
