Definitely a vet visit with a good chameleon vet would be a good idea. She may need to be put on antibiotics for a while and the vet can see what needs to be done with the area where the tongue detached.
Chameleons can learn to eat without the tongue…but it takes them some time and it goes...
This might help….but I would be sure to see a good chameleon vet to be sure what’s going on with your chameleon…

For future reference…if any pink moist “parts” protrude from the back end of a chameleon…do NOT use Vaseline…use KY jelly.
It would be a good idea to have a good chameleon vet check him out. You will want to watch to make sure no fungal infection has set in in that area.
Stella, Bart, and Lucky…happy Gotcha Day to you all! You are so lucky to be living with @MissSkittles !
See…females can live longer than a year of two…and Stella, you still can have a few more years of life because you’re with someone who has figured out exactly what a pretty girl like you...

@MissSkittles said…”you’re teaching me well”… You’re a quick learner!
You (and a few others who I won’t name in case I miss someone) have taken a lot of pressure off me, because you are all quick learners and do things like husbandry checks. I have appreciated it all!
You said…”There’s 12 reptiles and another would make it an unlucky #13 and I’m out of space”…well…if you get 2 you can skip the unlucky 13! There’s always room to squeeze in a couple more! 😁😉
