hey guys,

my 4 year old veiled chameleon (13" is having trouble shooting his tongue all of a sudden. when we feed him crix or super worms he had to walk up to them and stick only the tip of his tongue out and then push it against the cricket.

his crown looks a little sunken but he has no other signs of dehydration. his joints are not swollen and his eyes are not sunken. he also has an appetite and has a very strong grip.

the room he is in gets very hot now in the summer, but i don't think that would cause an issue. we do also have a UVB light.

what could be wrong with him? thanks!
