How do chameleons shed?

[PattyCake]

Hey guys, I know this is a stupid question, but how do chameleons shed? Do they start rubbing old skin off on a branch, does it peel off automatically and if it does peel off automatically, how? And I know they shed when they grow fast, but how do they know when to shed? I just walked in to my room last night and saw white skin all over Ark and wondered how the heck do they do that?

Thanks a bunch guys and sorry for all the questions!

It will just start to break and peel by itself.

Heres a short "documentary". Taken over almost 12 hrs.

I don't really know the answer, but I like to think it's like us getting sunburn and peeling...
