Help! tongue wont work 
Our 2 and a half year old male veiled seems to have a problem with his tongue , its almost as if it wont stick to anything ! Also he will not extend it more than an inch , I dont know if thats because he cant or what the deal is ? I’ve been hand feeding him horned worms wih tongs in front of his face and he trys so hard to but cant seem to pull them into his mouth , and he will not even attempt to take crickets from them. Any info would be awesome thanx
and so everyone knows the vet is getting a call first thing tomarrow

it could be due to so many things, but is often a sign of dehydration

I will work on getting pics of him. Those are also the two things the vet said , he usually gets sprayed down twice a day and wih queit a bit of water too, and now ive been keeping a dripper on him for hours. Plus th food ive been force feeding him is all dipped in multivitamins and calcium powder , so we will see . In the mean time thank you and im goin to try to get pics of him .

over supplementing with multivites can cause all sorts of hard to reverse probs , generally speaking , i would use multivites once a month max, best thing you can do for just about any cham (short of medical treatment) is to cut back on vites, use calc only, and get real sunshine
