Leonard's first shed, help

[LeorandtheChameleon]

so i took some pics to make sure he is doing okay. i have a hand held misted that i sprayed him with this morning i read somewhere that it helps, i have the humidifier super close to his cage and it is staying around 50%. he keeps rubbing his face and every other part on his jungle vine. i have put a warning not to try to handle Leonard out (boyfriends at work).

only his face, hands, tail are shedding is that normal?

Many chams will shed certain parts of their body. its normal. as is him rubbing on his vines. Just up his mistings and he should be fine, DONT try to peel the shed off though.

oh neverr that could rip off his skin.

anyway to make him comfy?

Not really and just what Camimom said. I would use warm water to mist with though. Put it in the sprayer HOT and it will spray warm. Make sure you test water temp first on yourself!

im guessing he has shed a lot more since this post but i have a sort of time lapse-ish video on my youtube of my cham shedding if you want to see that (pm me or you can search for it) or there are other shedding threads with pics of the progress.

my cham started with his face and arms mostly, tail came next i think... and then suddenly his whole body started flaking so im guessing thats whats happening for your guy as well.

my chams always shed eyes, feet, and tail before the rest

he started at his feet and such than his body did. but i read the other post but since i am new i wanted to make sure that Len was on the right track.
