how often should a female jacksons chameleon shed?
I think she is almost a year old. is it bad if she doesnt shed often?

 

[carol5208]

not at all bad. As they get older they will shed less and less and just parts of their bodies more so than the full body sheds they do when they are young.

They shed as often as they need to! An older, more adult sized animal doesn't need to shed as often as a baby or juvenile.

I have had my little Jax since he was 7 weeks old and he is now almost 10 months and has shed just 4 times thus far. Jacksons grow a lot slower than other species - Monty shed every 6 - 8 weeks as a 3 month old whereas my female Veiled was shedding every month at the same age. As they get older they may also shed one body part at a time as opposed to the full body shed in a matter of hours that baby chams undertake.
