I understand your intentions, and they are good... however you're just giving them more money to continue to do a poor job with these animals. Better idea would be to spread the word that they're doing a bad job and not to buy from them. If it's possible to reduce (or better yet stop) the people from buying from them, they'll likely be discouraged and close up biz all together.

You need to give him a really good shower and make sure that he gets a lot of moisture.

He needs it though, it is not like he will go to the vet and buy some shedding aid for himself, you need to do something or he will lose a vital component of his life.

what temp should water be
CJ's Exotics
Chameleon Enthusiast
Lukewarm, not hot, not cold, just warm. Don't spray him directly, even a spray bottle should work. Let me post a pic, just a minute.

what temperature do i use for water, so i put him in the shower on a plant and point the shower head at the wall so he gets the water off the wall

Actually, I would give him a bath upon further consideration, after the shower if he still has shed stuck to his feet.

Maybe 5 minutes of off and on misting. Just don't stress him.

If he appears stressed, slow down, and calm him by not doing anything to him and back off for a bit.

also it doesn't appear to be coming off

Wait for the water to soak into the skin. If it appears loose, he is in such a situation that you can try to touch it and see if it will come off. Just keep letting his skin absorb the water.

it still appears to be there, less of it is there i think but he still not sleeping with it holding on. he uses it when he walks most of the time.
