He has had this little piece of shed that wont quite come off from his eye... Should I give it more time (been about 2 weeks) or attempt to take it off, and risk looking a finger! (getting feisty!)

You could try giving him a nice long shower. That is usually pretty helpful. I've also used a little mineral oil on a q-tip for stubborn little bits of stuck shed.

can you explain the shower process for a cham?

 

[thephotoprincess]

I put a plant in the shower - I have a fake ficus that I use and I put the cham on that with lukewarm water bouncing off the shower wall. I give them a place where the water doesn't hit the plant much (so they can get out of the water if they want) and a place them gets a lot of water. They enjoy being under the water and usually stay there for quite a while.

Showers are really helpful. My graceful spends about half an hour just soaking and drinking.

Ayes, a shower is your best bet, and make sure to check the water >.> or you'll have a really pissy cham... you do not want to let the water hit the plant or the cham directly, they're a lot smaller than us!
