Spray him more often with warm water. Helps the shed come off easier...I also heard it can be itchy to some chams when they shed. So they will love the warm water

Nope just let it happen naturaly they will use branches to help them get it off

Just up the humidity a bit and spray with warm water (like others suggested). You must also watch out for any problems with shedding. If for some reason the chameleon is unable to shed certain parts of it body (i.e. tip of the tail) it can cut of circulation and therefore lead to amputation.

Never, ever pull at the shedding skin of your chameleon. If something serious like that ever happened your best bet would be to take the chameleon to a vet. Speaking of vets, you should probably try to find a exoctic veterinarian in your area so that you are prepared in case of an emergency. Make sure the vet has experience with chameleons, which can be hard to find. You should also take your chameleon in for a check-up and fecal test. How is your husbandry? Do you have any pictures of your chameleon and setup?

99.9% of the time, they will shed entirely on their own without issues, though it cant hurt to increase humidity.
