Hey,
While everyone here wants to help you... We all realize that your little cham is doing just fine, except for some mistakes on your half, take that dirt out ASAP if he ingests it he will get impaction, which may lead to death and prolapse! also, he needs either fake or live...
Yay
Thank you all and guess what... I was planning on bringing him to the vet today, but when i walked into my room this morning I saw him releasing a great amount of stool :) I am feeling better and I am sure he is :p:D
Hey,
Young chameleons shed once every week/ few weeks, as chameleons grow and reach adulthood they may shed once every month/few months and also will take 1-2 weeks to fully shed!
