shedding

Meller’s chameleon kicking off his shed.

Just curious, I've seen pictures of people giving their Panther chameleons baths during sheds. I have a very young 8 week old Panther so don't want to do it at all currently honestly until he doubles in size. Is giving them a bath just to help with the shed and something that is necessary? Never...

Do adult chameleons stop shedding once they're full grown as long as they maintain their weight and do not become chubby? The reason I am asking is that I have a female Meru Jackson's who hasn't shed for awhile who is in full shed today. She really doesn't eat much however she gave birth 2...

So, it has been a good few months since I've been active on here and it has been a dry... DRY winter here in northern Virginia. Osiris, my nearly year-old chameleon has been in a slow sectioned shed for about a month now, but having issue with the pads of his feet. I've made sure that his...

My pygmy chameleon started shedding yesterday morning and this morning there's still a piece of SHEd stuck to him. It's kind of wrapped around his leg. But when I looked at the other side I managed to unhook one end of the "skin rope" and now it's just this long hanging piece of shed hooked on...

Has anyone else notested wired behaviour before shedding? I heard of them going off their food, going pastle colours, being very grumpy, lethargic, streching lots and scratching on things. My 7m panther dose all of this but he also gets very uncodonated, the vet said this was normal...

Söze finally showed some color today after he shed!

Hey guys just thought I would post an update on Trevor! He seem to be getting better and since I changes his cage around to something completely different he seems to be happier. He has been off for the last few day and seemed pretty dull but he was getting ready for a shed. I have...

Hey guys Not sure if its something to be concerned about but for 2 or more weeks (after he did a 3/4 shed) he has had what looks like unshed skin on his head, on one side of his body, tail and the odd tiny tiny hang off bits on his legs, for the past couple of days I have been upping the...

Pygmies shed their entire skin within an hour or two! They split down the middle and then stretch their little heads and tails all around to loosen the split and eventually end up pulling it off! Sometimes they will eat the entire shed so you don't even know it happened. I got lucky and caught...

Is there a certain age veiled chams start their first shed? Mine was born in June, I got him 27th July and he hasn't shed yet. Is this normal? Thanks :)

Hello All, So I decided to take a random day off work yesterday. It turned out to be a great day to take off because my wife changed her flight back from Edmonton to be in the morning, so I could pick her up and hang out for the day. The other reason it turned out to be a good day to pick...

My baby montium shed for the first time yesterday. I caught it on the tail end and most of the shed had already fallen off, but I got these pictures of what was left.

My snake Taj is having troubles shedding completely. Whenever it is time for him to shed he sheds in small patches and never in a full body shed. The dead skin also gets stuck on his body, I leave a large bowl of water for him to soak in but it never seems to help. So far I've had to bath him...

Just wanted to show off a couple recent pics of my handsome fella. He's been this crazy-gorgeous jewel-toned spearminty green the past few days after he started shedding. It's funny, your think of all the cool colours chameleons can get and the greens seem so boring in comparison, but honestly...

Tee hee, I don't know. That's pretty much all I have to report, just a little excited, that's all, cause it means he's healthy & growing & stuff. :) First I was freaking out, cause I went to mist him and said "holy crap, what's the matter with his eye???" And then I went "ohhh!!!" And then I...

I found Trixie shedding this afternoon for the first time since I've had her. I was starting to get a little worried since I've had her for over a month. Here are the pics. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Ive kept Chameleons for just about a year now and was simply wondering...when chameleons shed...does that mean better skin/color comes out? My male red rudis is currently shedding and has nice colors coming out on the parts that have completed shed. like his head/arms partial body. So what does...

Hello, I have a ~4 month old veiled and Ive had him for about a month now. He started to shed 4 days ago. I mist once in the morning and once later in the evening. The under side, legs and most of the tail are completely shed. The back and head are both still covered with cracked dry skin. He is...
