He aims at my eyes quite frequently, but I usually catch him with his tongue out right before he shoots and I can move away. This time however...
Wow, so I have a rather overly food aggressive panther chameleon.... Whenever I come to the cage he immediately starts sticking his tongue out and running for the open door - as soon as I hold my hand out he will snatch whatever food I have.
