Anyone else’s chameleon get HUNGRY during shedding? I keep seeing people say their chams get a decrease in appetite when they shed but my boy seems to have gone the complete opposite. He ate all of his normal amount of feeders, plus more. I also gave him some BSFL out of my hand, he’s usually hesitant to eat from my hand but he could hardly wait for my hand to get in the door before he grabbed them. He’s been basking all day and been dark as well. Haven’t seen him drink and haven’t seen him poop since he started showing signs of shedding 2 days ago (moody and dull and face stretching). Is it normal not to poop with increased appetite during a shed? Maybe he’s going in a new spot but he usually poops the same spot every time. Here’s some pics before, during, and after the shed. I’m still watching some bits of skin lingering on the tip of his tail but he seems mostly done.
