my veiled chameleon is not eating the way he used to. i have him in a 2x2x4' screen enclosure. he has a 100 watt basking lamp, and a 5.0 uvb bulb. i mist the foliage in his enclosure 2-3 times daily. I moisten a small towel and put it on top of his cage near the two lamps to add a little bit more humidity to his enclosure. i put several crickets in for him to hunt every morning...the crickets usually go straight to where he is basking...but here's my concern...he will only eat the crickets if they are within 2" of his face...whereas when i first got him, any crickets within about a foot of him was easy prey. he doesnt shoot his tongue out really anymore to catch his food. Is this something i should be greatly concerned about? Is this problem easy to fix? what should i do? any input would be GREATLY appreciated!

thanks,

David
