Male Veiled Chameleon Always Shedding

[jrebryna]

Hi,

I was hoping someone would be able to give me some insight and direction on what to do with our guy.

We received him via a rescue society, he was turned over by the owner fo no reason given.

We have had him now for 3 months and I swear he has been constantly shedding ever since we got him. There appears to be nothing odd or unhealthy about him. Moves regular, eats regular... etc. His skin looks healthy, no signs of illness or indicators that give me any reason to pause.

I replaced the exiting UVB bulb with a new one, also purchased an expensive misting system for his cage, which is all screen mesh, so good air flow. Also dust his crickets with supplements, put veggies in also, He only will eat the Bok Choy though.. no other veggies seem to fit his palate.

Any advice on the constant shedding would be greatly appreciated!

are you using by any chance tetra brand supplement?

No I am using something called Zoo-Med, but I did just notice that it states Without D3....

From my research today it appears that I should be using D3 calcium dusting occasionally.

Thoughts?

Don't know then. Lack of d3 isn't causing the problem.
I used tetras product on some bearded dragons and it made their skin shed constantly and the shed was hard and wouldn't easily come off. That is why I wondered about the product.
Maybe it has to do with the bok choy. I would probably try stopping the veggies altogether for a couple of weeks and see if the shedding stops.
