Does it mean shedding? My guy looks like a raisin, especially on the legs.

I know that when mine wrinkle they are going to shed. If your chameleon is well watered and not dehydrated it should just be shedding. But if it's not well hydrated and wrinkled it can be a sign of dehydration. Give him a shower and see how he does.

My girl turned all wrinkly and and brown for almost 7 days. Just went back in there to check on her and she's almost fully shed

Mine turned all raisin like and I thought he was dehydrated so I went heavy on the misting. Turns out he was jut getting ready to shed! But the extra misting can help with the shed from what I've read too so it was good.

yes wrinkly means shed or dehydrated i also always mist more and keep my dripper going more when and if i see any wrinkling on my chams more misting wont hurt either way just dont do night time misting thats all

Kay thanks for all of that. It's probably a shed, but I'm gonna be vigilant for any dehydration signs.
