Second time unlucky, I have tried all the suggestions and no luck. Soaked with warm water and also used tissue oil to try soften the old skin. I will try again tomorrow, but i'm not too sure what i'll do if i can't get it off

Because egg laying is so taxing on a chameleons body, i would like to limit this. My female veiled is about 5 months old and is eating large amounts of insects (crickets, superworms, silkworms). At what age do i start limiting the amount the number a insects i feed her ?
