Itchy face?

[Anniel]

I got a panther chameleon about 15 days ago and I have noticed every once in a while since I have had him that he has been rubbing his face on a stick. It looks like their is dry skin peeling but it has been like this since I have had him. What does this mean? Is he shedding?(btw he is 3 1/2 months old)

Yes he is just shedding and trying to rub off the dead skin. Nothing to worry about

I'd say the same trying to get the shed off try extra misting sessions keep it humid during this time

 

[Anniel]

Okay I will give him mistings and keep the humidity up, Thanks for the info.

Hi Anniel. Yes your cham may be finishing off his shed. The face seems to take a bit longer than the rest of the body, so this rubbing against sticks, which is by the way the method chameleons use, will go on for a while after the other shedding seems to be done.
