Yep, his tongue is working fine... Honestly, I think it was more accidental than purposeful. He was hanging upside down in an awkward position while trying to stabilize himself (to shoot his tongue) but ended up grabbing the prey item instead of a nearby vine.
First time I’ve seen this... One of my adult Panther Chameleons (Skittles) grabbed his prey by-hand before biting it.
Pictures and video below!

Yes, I contacted Todd at Light Your Reptiles. He was very responsive and offered to sell me the replacement sockets for a little less than $25 (shipped).
What I'm trying to figure out is if this is a common problem or if there's possibly something about my setup that caused the sockets to...
Has anyone else here experienced issues with sockets breaking apart while replacing bulbs in a Light Your Reptiles Tropic Blaze HO T5 Quad Fixture?

I have two identically configured Dragon Strand Atrium enclosures each housing one male Panther...

@Qwerty - As @trickedoutbiker mentioned, I run a setup similar to what you're describing above. My setup includes two MistKing nozzles and an adjustable rain nozzle per enclosure. Also, each sprayer is fitted with a ball valve to facilitate adjustable spray configurations. I have two...
I gave up on the Banana Roaches. They're too much trouble to harvest, relatively difficult to care for, and it takes a LOT of them to feed a Panther. Plus, I've never had any problems with my Chams accepting other types of roaches (i.e. B. dubia, N. cinerea, etc). Net, net... There are...
