I have a young, what I think is a veiled chameleon. She was given to me as a gift after my bearded dragon died. I've crammed on the internet and have several books on the way. I know know that "if you build it, then they should come" is the byword. Unfortunately, I'm not able to convert from dragon to cham all at once. I'm doing it as fast as I can, as I've really become attached to her.
That being said, she has started to shed. I haven't seen anything on shedding and just would like to know if it is normal or am I doing something wrong to bring this on?
She is in a large glass tank (45 gal) temporarily. There is driftwood and flex vine covered in lots of fake ivy that she loves to hide and play in. I mist her twice a day and feed her live crickets. She is eating and drinking. (I almost dropped when I saw her eat the first cricket!) I have a UVB 10 coil bulb and a 75w basking bulb. Temp stays in the 80 degree range. Bulb does not get close enough at any point to burn her. Not dusting crickets yet, but am gut loading them. Trying to get it all together as fast as my finances will let me.
Your input would be appreciated. Thanks!
