How often should a Jackson’s Cham shed?

[Erica1884]

I am wondering how often should a Jackson’s Cham shed? Cassidy has not shed once since I have had him (about 3 months). He seems fine, I feel like everything is where it should be but no shed? He is a little over a year old. Thanks!

No idea on the frequency, but he may be shedding and you just don't see it. My baby chams eat their shed, and one of my adults occasionally eats some too Maybe he's just 'cleaning up' before you see

Cassidy shed 2-3 days before I sent him out. He's a year and a couple months old. His sheds at this age will be less frequent and in several months will become partial rather than whole body. I would expect him to shed this spring maybe within a month or two. He won't be near his full size until 2 years.

Edit: if you have bought a Jackson from me you can always tag me with your questions so I can respond quickly. I will always do my best to be available for my babies.

Maybe he is shedding and you did not notice, but on average they will shed every 4 to 8 weeks if they are healthy.

Jackson's don't shed at the same rate as growing panthers and veiled. They grow slower and mature later. Mine shed less in winter even though they have the same heat and other factors indoors. Hormonal?
